Possibly. Most semi-trucks cost about 200 000 USD. I couldn't find the value of a single truck load anywhere but there's a thread here[0] where folks are speculating it takes about 30-60 trucks to fully stock a Walmart, and a second thread where folks are talking about the likely cost to buy everything in a Walmart[1], which converges on low seven figures. Let's maximise the truck value with these constraints, so $10M/30 = 333 333 USD. Then we could perhaps estimate that the value of each truck is somewhere around 550 000 USD. How many trucker hours is that? Well, let's take the number from TFA which is 110 000 USD/year, assuming an average of 10 hours per day[2] (50 hour weeks) for 50 weeks per year (even truckers need a holiday), we get a total of 2500h/year. That means that one Walmart truck is worth 12,500 trucker hours. The 'involvement rate' for crashes resulting in injury per 100 million miles was 36 in 2021 (i.e., approx 1 every 2.7M miles). In 12 500 hours at 45mph[2], a trucker will travel around 562 500 miles. Wherever I've had to make an assumption, I've leaned towards it being less expensive to not have a crash (high end of value of stock in the store, low end of number of trucks, choosing to 'total' the truck in case there's an injury, etc.). However, this very basic and unscientific examination it does seem to suggest that your immediate conclusion that the employers of truckers should be economically aligned towards protecting trucks and truckers is not supported by data.
