Walmart depends on its company truck drivers as well as third-party truckers to move its goods.
Walmart's company truck drivers are among the best-treated in the industry — and they're getting a pay raise next month
The average first-year Walmart truckers earn $87,500, more than twice the average American long-haul trucker earns. They also get up to four weeks of paid time off, full medical benefits, opportunities for quarterly bonuses, and a host of other perks that most truckers don't receive. Smith said Walmart will continue to move more work out of third-party trucking and into the company's private fleet."We anticipate that we'll continue to use, leverage the opportunities where our fleet makes more sense to be able to leverage it more to service our business," he added.
