Hi drivers;
I’ve been driving for a few years now and I’ve driven quite a few different jobs, to include OTR, Local Food Delivery, Local Freight Delivery, Tanker LPG, and now currently I am driving a 53 footer delivering groceries to local grocery stores while doing about 8 stops a day. I have driven both non union as well as union.
After all these positions, I still have never earned what I feel to be a fair salary.
Personally, I have found that in regards to the trucking industry, the pay sucks.
I don’t expect to get rich; I simply would like to earn $80-$90 thousand a year. Not ‘up to’, as is continually touted in most recruiting propaganda....I mean realistically. And I am willing to work for it.
It looks like I will be starting with Walmart toward the end of April up in Johnstown, N.Y. Recruiting told me that I must be willing to relocate myself as well as my family up to that area from where I currently live, which, although I’m not thrilled about, I am willing to do... provided the pay is worth it.
I have heard that Walmart drivers are among the highest paid company drivers in the industry, with a very realistic first year of $90 K plus.
Is this really true?
Thanks in advance for any possible feedback.

I’m going through the process myself and what I was told during the interview was drivers in the northeast will make 90k+ their first year.
Do you have a date for onboarding? I’m headed out to Arkansas on the 28th of April. Going to be running out of Raymond NH. -

Good luck to you and congrats on working out of Raymond. I used to deliver there when I worked for ABF.T.Rucker Thanks this. -

You have to be a veteran driver to get 80-90k or haul hazmat or oversize. Most of the time.
