The bonus will be distributed in two large payments. When a truck driver begins with the Walmart fleet, $4,000 is paid upon successfully passing onboarding and being qualified to drive. Another $4,000 is paid when the driver has been with Walmart six months, Walmart officials said in a press release.

Walmart's private fleet is also offering activity, training and mileage pay from day one, quarterly safe driving bonuses, weekly home time, and up to 21 days paid time off in the first year. Walmart drivers can earn up to $87,500 their first year, according to Walmart officials.
