The $87,500 they post probably requires having the 30 months of recent driving experience, plenty of miles and safety bonuses.
Doctors, like DoD/contractors, Bankers, anything hi paying really; give their lives to their job. That includes limiting what they do at home, where they travel, who they speak too, how they act "out of the office".
Getting a career or sticking to a career are not indicative of happiness, security, or comfort.
The asterisks are you have to live in a truck, work crappy hours and be jerked around by dispatch, just like every other steering wheel holding dry van job. It's also not salaried so that "starting at 95k" is based on some number of miles. Walmart historically pays well in order to have their pick of top drivers. While they are a primarily dry van fleet, they're no Swift of Schneider so they expect high quality work to go with that pay. Driving over someone's planters will not sit well with them.

Surprisingly low percent of truck drivers can pass this.
Plus, many trucks have a driver-facing camera, no privacy.
Why the "ever!" addendum? Are you suggesting it is unreasonable to not have DUIs "ever!"?
I am cognizant that not everybody makes brilliant decisions when they are young, and not all of them remain awful incorrigible human beings forever.
These are reasonable conditions, but apparently they are not easy to pass.
I think the texting while driving is the more interesting one: a bunch of states don't care too much (Arizona, Montana, etc.), some others only impose a small $25 fine, so young people may not think about it as a huge obstacle to a high-paying job much later.
