Outside of Silicon Valley, not a lot of companies will pay you less under the auspice that the fringe benefits somehow "make up the difference" and Walmart is about as far from startup culture as you can get. Aside from that in order to drive one of these trucks, you require a CDL, which you have to get on your own, and maintain on your own, all at your own expense. The pay is there to attract talent from a limited pool of available workers and to ensure they show up to work on time and make deliveries on time. It would be against their own interests to try to cut corners and pay drivers less based upon these types of "benefits."
