Walmart Raises US Trucker Annual Pay To $110,000

Walmart WMT NYSE Walmart Inc Dallas Delaware Dover Texas
  • Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT) has raised the starting pay for the drivers of Walmart Private Fleet to $110,000 a year.
  • The retail giant employs about 12,000 long-haul truck drivers under its fleet.
  • The move comes amid a shortage of drivers that threatens to prolong supply chain snarls and merchandise shortages, Reuters reported.
  • "We're proud to announce pay raises to ensure Walmart remains one of the best companies in the world to drive for," the company stated.
  • Walmart's 12-week private fleet development program enabled supply chain associates in the Dallas, Texas, and Dover, Delaware, areas to earn their commercial driver's license (CDL) and become full-fledged Private Fleet Walmart drivers.
  • Price Action: WMT shares closed higher by 1.02% at $156.57 in premarket on the last check Friday.
