Walmart Inc. is offering new truck drivers up to $110,000 in their first year with the company, the retail chain announced on April 7.

The announcement comes amid a nationwide trucking shortage that has been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and job losses as drivers look for alternative employment offering better pay, benefits, and working conditions.
