I think Walmart was advertising long distance trucker jobs around $95k+ and that wasn't owner operator setups to my understanding[1]. How much of these figures are unrealistic or have hidden agendas, I don't know.

I was just at a Walmart DC outside of salt lake this morning and they had a sign coming in to the truck gate say (IIRC) $87k/year + $8k sign-on bonus. Walmart has always paid at the higher end of the spectrum so they have more strict hiring requirements.

This is for the Walmart fleet though, that Walmart trailer that almost took you out last week was most likely driven by one of the outside companies that run dedicated for them and they for sure aren’t as strict on who they hire.
