I feel like truckers should tell Walmart to shove it. This is getting abusive

Unfortunately, truckers don't usually have that option as they are often times wages slaves to their jobs through debt by being forced to buy their semi truck: https://www.usatoday.com/pages/interactives/news/rigged-forc....
In the short term, this could benefit the truckers. Rates may go up as each of the larger customers raises rates to attract them.

In the long term, truckers are best served by having competition in the marketplace. If there is only one big customer on the market then they have little chance of getting fair rates.

In the long run, there are no truckers.
