Because they operate under a different business model that is willing/able to risk hiring amateurs. Not dissimilar to why FAANG will pay a software developer many hundreds of thousands of dollars each year all while Mom & Pop are hiring some kid to develop their software for $10 per hour.
- bdcravens 3y agoTrucking is a massive industry. Most trucks you see on the road aren't mom-and-pop operations. If we want to just limit the conversation to giant retail operations, Amazon pays roughly 25% less than Walmart.
- randomdata 3y agoAmazon has a completely different business model to Walmart. If a truck doesn't arrive and the shelves are left bare, you're never going to know. They'll just ship the product off to you later when they can finally get the truck there. They can easily take the amateur hour risk. Costco, which is likely the closest analog to Walmart in terms of scale and logistical requirement, pays the same.
