Want to Work for Walmart? How’s Your Driving? 

Walmart has a reputation for being very tough with its suppliers. If you want your tools or toys or treats to be sold in its stores, you are going to have to sell them to Walmart cheap.

The company’s reputation for frugality extends to employee salaries, too. The average Walmart employee makes about $24,000 a year, as compared to the national average of $66,000. A notable exception: the people who drive Walmart’s trucks.

$87,500 had been the average that the company’s drivers could make their first year on the job. And now that there’s a national shortage of drivers to keep stores like Walmart supplied, it gets even better. On Apr. 7, to lure potential drivers away from the competition, Walmart increased its yearly pay for new drivers to between $95,000 and $110,000. Click here.
