I've got 20 years in and I'm done. I was making more money 10 years ago."
I guess you know now why there is shortage.
Fair to assume the driver shortage is real?

Up North the Salaries are getting better. It is getting to the point that certain OTR jobs are within 10-15k of Walmart pay. I'd rather make 10k less and have a truck to go home with then commute 3 hours one way let alone 10 hours+ like Kevin Roper did. Also up North the pool of drivers is smaller. -

...they just wanted a job...UKJ Thanks this. -
They ignore the fact that people in their forties are applying in droves. -
If Walmart wants the best they'll need to raise their pay accordingly or they'll just become another big carrier.
Probably just coincidence but since I've started hearing all the recruitment ads for Walmart I've noticed some pretty dumb moves by some of their drivers. -
