Walmart US is increasingly relying on its 8,600 'Elite Fleet' truckers over third-parties — and it's the latest move from America's largest company to take charge of its transportation network

Walmart's company truck drivers are among the best-treated in the industry — and they're getting a pay raise next month

The average first-year Walmart truckers earn $87,500, more than twice the average American long-haul trucker earns. They also get up to four weeks of paid time off, full medical benefits, opportunities for quarterly bonuses, and a host of other perks that most truckers don't receive. Smith said Walmart will continue to move more work out of third-party trucking and into the company's private fleet."We anticipate that we'll continue to use, leverage the opportunities where our fleet makes more sense to be able to leverage it more to service our business," he added.

They’re automating truckers out of a career. It’s start with auto transmissions and all the tech on trucks. No union. And sheep drivers that fall in line. And then you’re put out, or paid like a fast food worker.
