Walmart has announced that it will add more truck drivers to its fleet this year. The retail giant, which says it added 1,400 truckers in 2018, notes that “hundreds more are slated to join the fleet in 2019.”
And the company says that it is raising driver pay in February. “A one cent per mile increase and additional pay for every arrival means that Walmart drivers will now earn on average $87,500 a year.”
To snag a job as a trucker at Walmart, you’ll need “30 months of experience in the past three years and a clean safety record,” the company says.
One big reason truck drivers are so in demand is that we’re ordering more online goods than ever, experts say.
