lonely, sedentary job where you rarely see your family. A good driver deserves every bit of it.



A cool job for single guys maybe

One of the most effective commercials in history. There is literally an entire generation of BR kids that can recite the entire commercial on que 25 years later. Amazing.

What’s that like 15 bucks an hour for them after taxes?




Probably a little more than that, but you aren't far off

Most of these guys are probably making in the 50k-60k range unless they are driving literally everyday. Averaging 40mph they'd have to be driving 2500 hours to make the 89k. I'm not familiar with the specifics but I'm pretty sure there are limits on the hours you csn drive in a day so they would have to be absolutely maxing out to get anywhere near that.

And as soon as the economy takes a downturn they won't have a job, but let's keep acting like unskilled labor is better than getting educated

Walmart logistics tracking is state of the art. Drivers and equipment is tracked down to the mile and minute. Litigation trends using GPS logs citing driver fatigue is how the large awards are given you read about. Walmart and other gigantic carriers take hours and miles per day extremely serious.

I used to work for a major transportation carrier, Walmart has some of the strictest hiring practices if anyone in the business. There’s a reason that their drivers make so much money.

The fact you're "pretty sure" there are limits on hours that you can drive a day tell me all I need to know about your expertise..

It's simple math, I just took the time to do it. 60k for someone who probably has no education is nothing to scoff at, but if they hire 1,000 people 10 may make more than 80k.

Those are just the facts.

Was this post Tracy Morgan? I'd like to believe you but a Walmart driver killed an adult, and an unborn child due to fatigue...

I know you can't drive 20 hours in a row, I just don't know the specifics. If you can point out where any of my math is incorrect I'm all ears.

Walmart ships merchandise millions upon millions of miles each year, if we hear about one fatal accident is say that's a pretty big success.

Good thing it has nothing to do with an average MPH

I can point out I work in the transportation industry and know people that hire drivers for WM and the 80 to 90k a year is definitely true. They dont hire average truck drivers to these jobs. WM is picky to say the least.
