Regional truck drivers can earn up to $110,000 in their first year. Drivers plan their day, set priorities, and work with their team to keep freight moving safely and on time. They communicate clearly, solve problems as they come up, and adapt to changes on the road or in the plan. They handle all required paperwork and electronic logs accurately and follow all DOT, state, and company guidelines. They safely operate their tractor-trailer, inspecting it before, during, and after each trip to keep it in top shape. They will run optimized routes by following traffic laws and local restrictions—reducing delays and improving on-time delivery performance. They uphold Walmart’s high standards of safety, integrity, and professionalism every mile of the way. Drivers are paid a fixed rate for each mile driven, with additional pay for certain activities.
