Is it significantly above market rate when adjusted for experience level and overtime? They say "make up to" which is meaningless (maybe that's a 20 year driver hired for a particularly unpleasant route in a tight market). And I know some truck drivers can get overtime doing extra shifts which can make up a lot of their income. I'd like to see a real comparison between the experience level and kind of driving (long/short haul, day/night whatever other industry divisions) vs the median income rather than the meaningless comparison with the "up to" number before drawing any conclusions about how well they pay.
- bluGill 3y agoI would guess that WalMart assigns drivers to a route, everyday they go from the warehouse to the same WalMart(s). Most days there is no overtime - they keep every walmart within a days drive of two warehouses so if one warehouse fails (fire...) they can shift everything - that means some drivers will need to go to a different warehouse and then they need enough slack to pay for that extra overtime without running out of time in a day (a day is less than 24 hours for drivers)
