Walmart is trying to attract hundreds of new truck drivers this year, the position coming with a nearly $90,000 paycheck.
The company announced that it is raising driver pay beginning in February. The raise, a 1-cent per mile increase and additional pay for every arrival, means Walmart drivers will now earn on average $87,500 a year.

The raise is set to take affect on February 1. To apply,
