The company is looking to fill these positions to support its growing business, after reporting in August its 20th straight quarter of U.S. same-store sales growth and a 37 percent gain in U.S. e-commerce sales.
The Harrisonville grocery distribution center serves 197 Walmart stores throughout the Midwest. Wages for the Harrisonville center full-time hourly associates start at $18.15 per hour and can reach more than $20.25 an hour based on work area, shift and schedule. Along with order fillers, the Harrisonville distribution center is looking to hire drivers for its professional trucking fleet. Benefits of driving for Walmart include competitive pay, great benefits, predictable scheduling and contemporary, well-maintained equipment.
Earlier this year, Walmart announced a new investment in driver wages, setting a new average of $87,500 in the first year of employment for Walmart drivers. To drive for Walmart, a commercial driver must have at least 30 months of full-time experience with no serious traffic violations in the last three years.
All positions are considered full time- qualifying for benefits, including medical, vision and dental insurance, 401(k) matching, paid time off, a quarterly incentive program and access to a college degree for $1 a day. Applicants have the opportunity to be hired on-the-spot with conditional job offers.

Change Your Speed. Change the Ending
Change Your Speed. Change the Ending.
Statewide campaign reminds motorists to obey the speed limits.
JEFFERSON CITY – According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a crash on a road with a speed limit of 65 mph or greater is more than twice as likely to result in a fatality than a crash on a road with a speed limit of 45 or 50 mph and nearly five times as likely as a crash on a road with a speed limit of 40 mph or below. In Missouri specifically, speed contributed to nearly 40 percent of the state’s 921 roadway fatalities in 2018 continuing an alarming trend related to speed over the last 5 years.
The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety wants to remind drivers that there is a reason for posted speed limits – the safety of all road users.
“Saving a few extra minutes on your commute is not worth the increased risk of being involved in a crash that could endanger your own life or the lives of everyone else on the road,” said Jon Nelson, chair of the executive committee of the coalition. “Speed is one of the most common contributing factors for fatal crashes in Missouri, and unfortunately, the data shows it’s only becoming more prevalent. We want to change that.”
A statewide speed enforcement campaign will run Oct. 18-20. During this time law enforcement will be actively enforcing Missouri’s speed limit laws and reminding drivers of the increased risks associated with higher speeds.
Speeding is defined as driving in excess of the posted speed limit but driving too fast for conditions can also have dangerous consequences including:
- Reducing a driver’s ability to negotiate curves or maneuver around obstacles in the roadway
- Providing drivers less time to react to adverse conditions
- Extending the distance traveled before a vehicle can stop
- Increasing the distance a vehicle travels once the driver reacts to a hazard.
- Increasing the amount of force involved in a collision
“We often talk about every driver’s responsibility to drive sober and pay attention, and rightfully so,” said Nelson. “Driving an appropriate speed is equally important and impactful for reducing the number of fatalities on Missouri roadways.”
Change your speed, change the ending. And, of course, always buckle up and put your phone down. For more information, visit
