A Day in the Life of a Pepsi Delivery Driver (From arriving to the Yard to Fuel)

[@AshiaNecole]

Thanks!

[@Magnum44NC]

I just finished a 34 year CDL-A career. I did it all, vans/flats/reefers/doubles. OTR and local, even hauled dirt/sand in a 40 ft dump trailer in the city. Made great money. The local Pepsi and Coke warehouses had HELP WANTED ads 365 days a year. They couldnt pay me enough for the BS these poor guys suffer with. I salute you guys who do this every day. You are a hardcore breed. ^5

[@busterspeedbump]

I did the truck sharing thing for 8 years nothing worse than not being in it for a couple days and it being trashed by your coworkers who don't care. Now I drive for a company that has assigned trucks and I can keep it the way I want it and make it my personal office. All the power to you if this is the grind you enjoy and keep making that money.

[@michaelscotting8294]

Im glad the Pepsi facility i work at is an Express. So our tractor, trailer and all equipment stays together and are assigned to a route. And routes are assigned to a driver. So every day you run the same route (unless you are a Relief driver) and have the same equipment every day. So people take care of their stuff

[@aosaa1368]

That is awesome!

[@rp42069]

They should have the skid and pallet jack ready with the load. Respect to you and all drivers!

[@954brent954]

They should have enough pallet jacks,everybody taking different routes jacks. 😂😅

[@kevindhrobowski]

Every route has a sled and jack, but if it’s broken, they have to get a different one

[@EndlessEFFX]

you'd think every trailer would have their own assigned equipment, kinda strange.

[@ivandeegr8]

i remember at my last rv factory receiving job a lot of truck drivers never had a pallet jacks to move pallets

[@MrMlbfan6]

Not really most company they don’t

[@kevindhrobowski]

They do, drivers have a favorite tractor they like to use. Pepsi fleet tech here

[@Rorona550]

I drive for Budweiser, our routes are assigned to a truck\trailer we never have to search for our trailer or tractor unless it’s getting worked on

[@michaelscotting8294]

I work for Pepsi. At our facility every route has a assigned tractor, trailer and all the equipment.

[@nismonad88]

Worked for montreal pepsi, worst job ever, Same problems, even worse, drivers steals equipments everywhere, they even locks it to steel beams inside with locks, tractors in terrible conditions, horrible route, can’t finish a single day without running. Even not enought trucks in the morning. Thats a terrible organisation with supervisors having no idea how a truck works, sitting inside their office chilling and slaking drivers to marchandising when there is not enought routes, even in the middle of summer

[@Jerry_SWMO]

Whooo. What a junky looking yard. Cords laying all over the place. Having to rob equipment from other vehicles. Trash can overflowing. Putting tractors away with low fuel. Got a few problems there, my friend. BTW, you called the Landing Gear the Lift Gate 2 times.

[@Junior214-z3t]

Dafuq,so you have to hunt down a pallet jack and other equipment at the beginning of every shift. Pepsi needs to get the $hit together and buy more equipment. Never would I work there lmao!..

[@mindman1234]

i would be angry every morning lol

[@unknownuser4044]

The whole equipment situation is kinda jank, the loaders should have to put the equipment on

[@bryanthomas279]

Trailer not loaded with a jack already is wild

[@theblandtrucker9658]

Did anyone else notice during the Pre-trip he left the air bags deflated when leaving the yard lol.

[@GrammarPoliceInvestigations]

I was yelling at the screen. If you hire rookies, you get rookie shit....LOL

[@Unknown_Ooh]

Lmao whats going on at Pepsi? Someone steals your pallet jack so you just steal one from another trailer so that driver now has to go find one? Are there not enough pallet jacks to go around?

[@aosaa1368]

It sounds wrong but it’s just how it is out here. We really not low down. I don’t know why our facility doesn’t assign equipment. But I’ve gotten use to the lifestyle every job has its cons. But I think Pepsi is a good company to work for. Especially out of trucking school!

[@devonreed1621]

I often wondered how the sled frames ended up bent. So the drivers just yank them off the back of the trailer? So does Mesquite not assign each trailer a sled and electric jack? Do the warehouse loaders not seal the trailers after loading? Geotab records everything dealing with the truck while out on the route. It shows speed, location, seatbelt usage, and any diagnostic error codes that may occur during your shift. It's also like an electronic log book.

[@sowwhatlxxxvii]

Judging by the amount of responsibility and physical effort. This position needs to pay more. Underpaid individuals here for sure. More money.

[@Ayekody]

Pepsi is cheap af and would never

[@johnblanco4200]

btw no need to strap the jack!

[@ThatLeeNoble]

So everyone just nicks each others equipment off their truck.

[@ericjohnson4285]

As a fellow pepsi driver it really pisses me off when my truck gets stripped of tools and slows my start, when there are empty trucks with the tools on them.

[@Trucker2004]

Man gotta scrape for lift, sled, and get fuel. Whew

[@atarikid7424]

Are you getting paid per box; component pay + hourly OR just hourly??

[@aosaa1368]

We’re not hourly here!

[@Drpepperkev4]

Some big stores have merchandisers, the rest of the big stores the drivers are the merchandisers

[@MrMlbfan6]

Every one saying no equipment hasn’t work on companies most of these companies are cheap idk why they have the money

[@Drpepperkev4]

Don't think taking pallet jacks from other trailers would be very nice and fair to other drivers because having assigned equipment because if another driver doesn't have what they need and can't find the equipment they need in the trailer or semi Tractor they are driving can cause problems

Not at our facility we go to a gas station

[@GeneJ77]

Question… when you first started working at Pepsi, did they had you partnered with someone to show you the ropes (training you) then you started to do everything on your own? I’m new to this. I just passed my CDL test to get my permit. I’ll be starting class on learning hands on about inspection.

[@aosaa1368]

Yes they did for a minimum of 4 weeks. Until I felt ready to be by myself

[@GeneJ77]

Most pop locations pay like shit the Coke location I worked at (left due to layoff issues that started happening) before I left was paid 27 cents per case $27 per drop stop like grocery stores and $174 daily base.

Sorry, I am a little confuse. Do you work for a company by the name New Bern Transport or PepsiCo? Never notice the name NBT 2 b honest!!!

[@aosaa1368]

Pepsi Co

[@therisingrtied]

New Bern Transport Corp, or 'NBT,' is a subsidiary of PepsiCo Inc. They handle the transportation and distribution of PepsiCo's products. It's common for large companies like PepsiCo to have their own transportation subsidiaries or partners to manage the movement of their goods. New Bern Transport Corp is one of these partners, responsible for making sure PepsiCo products get where they need to go.

I applied for Pepsi Delivery truck driver (i have my class a already) how long is the hiring process? applied a few weeks ago and no luck yet. In the meantime im doing uber/lyft just to survive, i used to do port work but not trying to go back, it SUCKS A**.

[@AmpHawes]

Whats up bro. I work at Pepsi in south Carolina and the hiring process is like 2 week. The quicker you do your part (drug screen, background check etc...) the quicker you get in. How I got hired bro I kept going up there and asking about a job. I went like 3 times and I finally talked to the plant manager. And he hired me. Go up there bro and get hired.

[@battlesqueak5838]

No pre trip. The sign of true professional

No pre trip can get the company in trouble by Dot inspection of the truck is part of the pre trip not just the trailer with cords lying everywhere and taking equipment from other trailers is just horrible

[@Kipras223]

[@Jay_Force_One]

It’s just this company. Most trucking companies in the US have equipment signed to the truck and the truck is loaded by a completely different crew. The driver just drives in most places. I’ve seen a couple owner/operators load flat bed freight, but usually a trucker backs up the the warehouse and the loaders load the truck.

[@dvljet]

Pretrip inspection is manditory and im surprised no elbs in the trucks . pretrip includes checking the fluids under the hood checking all tires lights brakes and steering . beer company drivers are paid by the hour and at the warehouses theres supposed to be fuel islands . its the first time ive seen open loaded trailors most times loaded trailors are closed door to prevent theft and they dont use coolers anymore least not up here the trailers are climate controled . a yard that has trash all over the place shows very poor management of the warehouse and the lack of respect for pepsico .

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10 1 John 1 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us. Jesus answered, John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 The rapture is imminent!
