"Let me ask you this, if walmart hired a fleet of trucks with known safety issues, and one of their trucks killed a family of six on the freeway, do you not think walmart would be liable? LOL!"

Is the truck that commits murder an SUV?

If Walmart hired a trucking company and that company has a history of safety violations and high risk drivers, then Walmart must have been able to negotiate a price low enough for them to justify that choice. Suppose they are able to pay 25% of the cost to such a company and charge less for their products, therefore increasing their market share. What would be evil about that? Every company, big or small, makes these choices every day. Now you would argue that they knowingly took risk with society, however if the trucking company was able to get insurance, therefore meeting the minimal standard of the contract and operating legally, then the trucking companies insurance rates would be to high and Walmart would not have seen the value in hiring this company.

The expectation is that the trucking company is operating legally, that is what I expect of Walmart!
