BUCK: Walmart. You may have seen this, ’cause I know you’re a Wall Street Journal reader. Did you already see this?
CLAY: Oh, I did see this.
BUCK: Ah, all right. So, I was gonna try —
CLAY: It’s pretty crazy. It speaks to how difficult it is to hire people right now. I think it’s gonna blow the mind of our audience what the salary is for drivers right now.
BUCK: So, if you… We always talk about this, but, if you’re in the talk radio business, the truckers are always listening. Truckers are there with you, man. They’re there with you, a lot of time for three hours a day. We’re rolling with you all across the country. Clay and I know we can count on our trucker listeners, and that’s why it’s fun to do live events.
They’ll come up, like, “I’m a Clay and Buck trucker.” We got some of those high fives down in Houston. We love you guys and gals. You’re fantastic. Some of you, apparently, should take Clay and me out for a steak or maybe help us.
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: You know, Papa Buck needs a new pair of shoes or something. Throw me a C note. Throw me a hundo, because Walmart is now offering $110,000 starting pay for truck drivers — for Walmart, in-house truck drivers.
CLAY: It is amazing.
BUCK: This is laws of supply and demand in the labor market at work: 110K, Clay! That’s serious cash for a job that’s a really necessary job. Americans are being reminded of this.
