Now it is unclear what a driver has to do to earn that starting wage, but it is a step in the right direction to pay drivers accurately for what the job should pay.    ![VOGDU7FJDBGTFIJP2SHM72DU5Q](https://www.shipmoto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/VOGDU7FJDBGTFIJP2SHM72DU5Q.jpg?width=722&name=VOGDU7FJDBGTFIJP2SHM72DU5Q.jpg) --- Read more at: [https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/retail/2022/04/07/walmart-truck-driver-salary-pay-raise/9497112002/](https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/retail/2022/04/07/walmart-truck-driver-salary-pay-raise/9497112002/)   [News](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/news) Share this post: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/walmart-dangles-95000-to-110000-usd-to-start-for-truck-drivers) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/walmart-dangles-95000-to-110000-usd-to-start-for-truck-drivers) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/walmart-dangles-95000-to-110000-usd-to-start-for-truck-drivers) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/walmart-dangles-95000-to-110000-usd-to-start-for-truck-drivers) ## Read More Oct 1 · [News](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/news) ### [CBSA System Outage: Cross-Border Delays and What Shippers Need to Know](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/cbsa-system-outage-cross-border-delays-and-what-shippers-need-to-know-oct-1-2025) Sep 26 · [News](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/news) ### [Canada–US Tariff Update: What Freight Shippers Need to Know (Sept 2025)](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/canada-us-tariff-update-what-freight-shippers-need-to-know-sept-2025) Aug 25 · [News](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/news) ### [LTL Market in August 2025: Warming Up or Still Chilling?](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/ltl-market-in-august-2025-warming-up-or-still-chilling) Apr 9 · [Shipping & Freight Tips](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/shipping-freight-tips) ### [USA–Canada Trade Freight Updates | Moto Transportation News](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/usacanadatrf-0) Mar 5 · [Shipping & Freight Tips](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/shipping-freight-tips) ### [USA–Canada Trade Route Freight Insights | Moto Transportation](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/usacanadatrf) Dec 3 · [Shipping & Freight Tips](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/tag/shipping-freight-tips) ### [The Impact of U.S. Port Strikes on Cross-Border Shipping](https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/navxb) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Michael Melwicks", "url" : "https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/author/michael-melwicks" }, "dateModified" : "2025-08-25T03:43:10.944Z", "datePublished" : "2022-04-08T17:29:29.000Z", "headline" : "Walmart Offers $95K–$110K Starting Pay for Truck Drivers", "image" : [ "https://www.shipmoto.com/hubfs/VOGDU7FJDBGTFIJP2SHM72DU5Q.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.shipmoto.com/shipping-news/walmart-dangles-95000-to-110000-usd-to-start-for-truck-drivers", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.shipmoto.com/hubfs/Moto2020CorrectFontforWhite.png" }, "name" : "Moto Transportation" } } ``` ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "articleBody" : "In recent months truck drivers have been swapping trucking companies for higher driver pay leaving companies that were paying the standard rates not able to put drivers in trucks and service freight shipments.
