By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

Reportedly, Walmart Stores, Inc. (WMT) is 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.

Walmart has hired 7,000 drivers for its internal fleet during the past two years, while last year it hired 4,500, which is the most in the company’s history, informed a spokesperson. The retailer has also launched the “Private Fleet Development Program,” a 12-week program taught by established Walmart truckers to train new drivers.
