Be kinda cool getting into and industry with that type of starting pay. I work offshore and dont even make that. Stipulations though only from local areas.
Maybe one of you it maybe helpful.

Walmart said Thursday it is raising pay for long-haul truck drivers and launching a new program to train the next generation, as it seeks the staffing it relies on to replenish store shelves and warehouses across the country.
The retailer said truck drivers will now make between $95,000 and $110,000 in their first year with Walmart.

What do you do offshore? I worked offshore from 1999 to 2002.

Do they provide the truck? If they don't you aren't going to be taking in anything near $100k

Two things:
It seems they only plan to hire from Walmart employees.
Before you get into trucking you need to talk to some truckers and see what they think about how the promises of pay turn into actual numbers.

The program will initially be open to only supply chain associates who are near the two training locations, Hatfield said. In the future, she said all Walmart employees will be able to apply for the program

Saving money on cashiers to pay more for drivers.

My dad was a truck driver. I often think what I am missing out on seeing daily sitting at a desk.

I’ve been in the trucking industry for 20 years and it has been widely known that driving for Walmart is the top job available for a company driver. They pay well and treat their drivers with respect.
They are all uniformed company drivers and are respected amongst their truck driving peers.

Don’t know it is still the case but they used to only hire drivers with at least 5 years of OTR experience

I am in the wrong line of work.

Still have a CDL, but I am too old to enjoy the lot lizards.

Most of the truck drivers I talked to back when I was a forklift operator in a warehouse tended to advise against the profession when I would ask about it. They said the long hours on the road got tiresome after so long and having to pay for and wait your turn just to take a shower at a truck stop got old quick.
There were exceptions but the majority of them said the money wasn't as much as you might think and wasn't worth it in the long run

I used to be a full time driver. Nothing OTR but spoke to lots of people that did it. I have a driver working for me that drove OTR. It isn't as glamourous as they make it out to be. He was driving to California and back every two weeks or so. Sensors all over the truck to detect and hard braking or evasive driving. Big brother watching your every move. shite on that.
