Walmart to train warehouse workers as truckers
Walmart has announced they will be launching a training program for employees who work in their warehouses to become truck drivers. They will also be increasing their trucker starting salary range to between $95,000 and $110,000, with their current average pay being $87,500. This move comes as the nation’s trucker shortage is at a record high.
