Some are some aren't. The great walmart of CHina has its own truckers. They are not independents, so they are on hourly pay.

Hmm.
Okay, Mr. Trucker is stuck in traffic and his shift comes to an end... What then?
If this was to ALLOW truckers to work up to 16 hours, it might make sense. The trucker works until he's done, if takes 8, 10 or even 16 hours, then he hits the sack. I sense a COMPEL here, though...
Wally World is beginning to apply its extortionate techniqes to its employees...

Walmart may have some hourly paid, but they also contract heavily with independents. A friend of mine ran a small trucking company, and contracted with Walmart. They were tough to contract with. Cell phone wired into the truck and GPS. Walmart gave you the route and a window of arrival. You were contacted by Big Brother if you went more than ten miles off designated route, or arrived early or late. They didn't want you there early because that meant you'd been speeding.

"They are not independents, so they are on hourly pay."

WalMart uses their own trucks, common carriers and independents.
