Drivers
As one of the biggest transportation operations and largest private fleets in the world, Walmart drivers deliver more than products to our stores. They are the lifeline of our operations and the means by which our Every Day Low Prices reach our customers and communities. They are responsible for ensuring that our mission gets carried out as intended. And they put a human handprint on every operation while reducing our carbon footprint. In fact, our Private Fleet of 7,400 drivers, 6,500 tractors and 55,000 trailers traveled approximately 700 million miles last year, and did it as one of America’s safest fleets. At Walmart and Sam’s Club, our drivers are our ambassadors.
