Texas $13M Walmart Settlement Over Spark Driver Pay Alters Last-Mile Contractor Transparency

The settlement, announced by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, includes $6.69 million in restitution and a 10-year earnings verification program. Shippers using last-mile platforms should note increased regulatory scrutiny on independent contractor pay.
