Walmart (WMT) is driving up pay for its truckers.
In a blog post Thursday, the nation's largest retailer announced it will be increasing starting salaries for its freight drivers to between $95,000 and $110,000 a year, up from an average starting salary of $87,500, according to a Walmart spokesperson.
"Drivers who have been with Walmart longer can earn even more, based on factors like tenure and location," the blog noted.
