Day in of a Pepsi Delivery Driver (Check In process for a Convenience Store)

[@Ramon609]

Also watch your back man i worked in retail for almost 10 years and thanks to that line of work it made my lower back and knees weaker.. you only have 1 body and you gotta do with it for your entire life.. sadly cannot just use Velcro and stick a new spine or another arm on your body and i'd advice you to look for something better than this line of work.. and please for the love of god do not become too valuable for the company or bust your butt for some large company that sees you as a mere number and nothing more (being too valuable means you'll never get a promotion and you'll just be stuck doing work for 2 or more people with the same pay)

[@Endru85x]

Good points. If you work with 100% of your abilities since day one, they would expect you to do 120% for the same cash. People who know how to slack without being fired will earn the same cash, so what is the point? I worked in retail for years, i seen people both young and old trying to show what great workers they are, taking a lot of night shifts etc. because they got paid extra. Their health was quickly detoriorating, not to mention social and love life. It is not bad if you like this kind of job, but don,t expect company to love you, for them you are just another number on paylist.

[@Ramon609]

Very true indeed.. its the unfortunate and cold truth.. all it is is just them figuring out how to make the green arrow go up and keep it up and if the arrow does not go up or isn't going up straight anymore then all panic goes loose and hundreds if not thousands of people will lose their job.. its so toxic man its painful to see@@Endru85x

[@DONK8008]

My work which deals with food/drink to smaller stores has 2 forms of delivery. Dump that shit and you deal with it or pay a bit more and the driver merchandises it and takes all waste from the external cases away at the same time. Pretty common practice really.

You guys have it easier than we did. Back in 2011 when I worked at Pepsi, we had a 20 bay side loader and we had to pick product off of a pick list and load it on a hand truck and verify everything then merchandise it all inside the store. I’m glad they made the switch to palletized loads and lift gates

[@ItBeginsAgain]

Awesome video, Just wanna point out I wouldn’t have left the trailer door open while taking the items in, bad neighborhoods tend to steal anything.

This is so confusing for me to watch, in England, they drop the delivery's off at the loading bay and store staff stock the shelf and move the product into storage etc, mad to see someone who doesn't work at the shop to do that.

[@Blasterxp]

It is more like the Pepsi machine is filled by the Pepsi guy

[@cmb9059]

Depends on location. In Detroit coke pepsi and 7up all only stock at family dollar dollar general walgreens and cvs. All other locations like all gas stations is either dropping pallet or dolly into cooler or backroom and drop it. He makes the job harder by worrying about the perfect spots. Me I would be creating stacks in the general area. If they don't like the way it is they can fix it themselves

[@dennissvitak5475]

Having stop #2 farthest toward the door is a warehouse problem. I ran a massive Coca-Cola warehouse, in St. Louis (770 thousand cases), and this never would have happened. Pick tickets come out in reverse order, and the pallet loaders drop their pallets in front of the truck, and the forklift loaders load them into the correct order.

[@JamDecks]

It’s nice you organized your product. Lot of stores and some deliver drives just merge all the products together in the back, making our work way longer then it should.

[@aosaa1368]

Yes! Thank you!

[@brett19890]

It should be the store's responsibility to organize the inventory, including pallets received. Just pure laziness from these stores not hiring people to do that.

[@dennissvitak5475]

Hard requirement for Coca-Cola deliveries is to pull the oldest product to the front. This stops product from getting dated, and needing to come back to our warehouse.

[@TJ-100]

When the cooler is a disaster I don’t even bother to put it up. They don’t care so why should I fight my way to work and waste more time doing so

[@kolosis1149]

Interesting to see how different you guys operate, I deliver milk to grocery stores(not as much fun as you guys seeing my stuff is on wheels not powered and weigh 408lbs-800lbs haha), being their primary milk provider majority of them entrust us to update the invoice properly and check in the order ourselves. I see pepsi and coca-cola and polar drivers on a regular basis and them checking in with receiving at the grocery stores.

[@juhokaartoaho]

This could be very different but In our grocery store in Finland our milk product deliverys go automatically to our electronic invoice system that we check as we put it to shelves or storage and it spits our error report from anything that was missing or was over delivered and then we report that back for refund if necessary. With these kinds of drink deliverys we usually only get the paper version witch we have to check. we could technically just let it be and ask for refunds later, but they can change the delivery info then and there if there is a problem.

[@kolosis1149]

@@juhokaartoaho Yeah, here we update it while there - they never complain about getting some extra if they have the space (not charged for this extra product). Each store here is different, some will check it - some won't, some will have dairy manager(or assistant manager) signature required. My stores are all on good terms with me, so its just deliver update anything that needs (these shortages are reported back to my supervisors/manager so we can find out why it didnt get loaded, usually warehouse not thinking properly).

[@xxtoptigerxx8758]

I'm sure this is the gist of the kind of work my dad went through. No wonder he works so much. He worked at Coke for over 10 yrs! So glad he's got a better job now.

[@DevZant]

I did Pepsi on Long Island for 10 years. First 7 was all off a side loader with handtrucks. Last 3 years was off a trailer with a gate & a power jack. From 20 to 30 i slung soda & mostly loved it. Eventually the people got to me & i couldn’t do it anymore. I also had to deal with helpers who i wasn’t fond of. Wish i could have worked alone but wasn’t possible on the route i had.

@@JohnSmith-yt8di the customers sucked with their attitudes. There was a lot to Sysco. The trucks were never loaded correctly (pallets were turned the wrong way or in the wrong spot), the pallets weren’t selected correctly and sometimes the routing was off.

I'm from Brazil and worked on a store some 20 years ago and the exact same thing you described happened every damn weekend when we received delivery from coca cola/nestlé. They always had some kind of problem with the pallets, the order or the date/time. At first we let it slip as we knew the delivery guys are usually not responsible for those mistakes, but after 3 or 4 consecutive mistakes it starts to get to you and the guys attitude didn't help.

This is exactly what Coke and Pepsi deliveries look like at my store. They stock the cooler chutes with their products and put the unopened cases on the shelves, then stock the 2 liter bottles and 12 packs out on the sales floor. Then they put all their plastic wrapping and cardboard in the trash.

Man I been working in the pepsi warehouse for 6 years. 3 years order picking and currently 3 years forklift driver. When I found out we get paid just the same as a driver I felt hecka bad because we really be chilling in the warehouse. You guys got to deal with crazy drivers, traffic, rude store managers or receivers/ long lines at locations, and then got to break down the pallets and geos at stores too! No wonder we go through so many drivers to where I don’t even try to get to know any of the drivers because they come and go. One new driver was fed up with the extra work so he left the truck at the store and left smh. I know here in Las Vegas is way different compared to other cities but drivers should be making way more than us in the warehouse I mean you guys got a CDL

[@aosaa1368]

That’s probably in Las Vegas not here in Texas Loaders here make 22.55 a hr. And I make on average around 30 a hour a lil Bit more than that.

The plant here in GA is $25hr for warehouse & $30hr for driver. Our hours are way longer than the warehouse but that’s for the drivers who actually do their job. The lazy ones barely put in any hours like a fool

[@pippippin1854]

You pull up to the back door warehouse ,unload and the staff put the goods away,not the driver of the truck.Your doing about 3 jobs in 1.

[@postmadrone1856]

PepsiCo and Coca-Cola both do this. They take care of their own product in the stores they put them in. For grocery stores it's usually not the driver, they have separate merchandisers they send to each store to work incoming product and overstock. These stores have "guaranteed sale" contracts with Coke/Pepsi that means any damages/expired products are 100% refunded to the store, therefore, coke/pepsi takes care of their own product to limit their losses in exchange for more merchandising space/different pricing.

[@Hyphu]

Cooler was pretty chill when I worked in a liquor store, when I didnt have to watch the counter.

Get your CDL-A experience with this Pepsico then find a no-touch company later on. Pepsi is self-insured so they can risk hiring brand new drivers, it's a good start to prove you can drive a truck but you do have to put in the labor.

[@jaxhoffalot2812]

Great service my man, you are a customer service professional & could easily fit a more white collar customer facing role if you desired that. I'm incredulous you guys have to fill the clients shelves to their specifications, instead of just delivering the goods to a receiving area. I worked in gas stations when in college & the deliveries would just be dumped outside for me to lug inside and check, sort & replenish the shelves/coolers. Australia is a little different.

[@JasonD09]

I do not envy that job whatsoever. I used to work for a liquor, & wine distributor as a merchandiser so I was always traveling between different grocery stores after the truck delivered our products. Never knowing where the truck was or has been was a true challenge. A similar job to this except I was not a delivery driver, however still had to put out a lot of our own products in different grocery stores. Nothing was organized by any means and even though I was able to use the stores equipment such as hand carts or whatever they had, it was still a royal pain. Customers were always in the way because we didn't start till at least 9am. Walmarts of course were the worst of our stops as they took their sweet time counting and checking in our products so if that was my last stop of the day, I had to wait sometimes 30 minutes to an hour just for them to get to it. I did that for about 2 years and as many times as our delivery drivers and myself and other merchandisers would complain to our bosses about Walmart taking their sweet time and wasting ours, they would complain to Walmart as well. Of course , nothing got done about it on from Walmart's side. So we decided to make them our last stop of the day since they took the longest to do anything. If it was time for us to go off and clock out and the products were still not checked in, too bad. We left and it was on them to check everything and put it out themselves. If you like it and enjoy it, great! IMO it's not really a career job unless it pays well and you don't have to risk hurting yourself to do it. You appear to do a great job and your manners are very respectable.😀

I've always wonder how comfortable are day cabs compared to the semis with sleeper cabs on them ?

[@kolosis1149]

Fairly similar, only difference is sleepers having a bed in the back for resting. Wouldnt want to sleep in a day cab on a regular basis. I've driven sleeper over the road across the states, and now I'm a local driver.

[@Jay_Force_One]

They’re pretty much the same as a sleeper interior wise, with the exception of not having a sleeping cabin in the back. The only other difference would be that you don’t get as much storage space because of the lack of sleeper cab and not being designed for long stays in the cab. Truck wise though. They’re very different. Day Cab trucks typically don’t have nearly as much power and sit on a lesser duty frames. They’re designed for moving light freight locally.

[@ttgk8506]

If you have a manual day cab then there's very limited storage. An automatic has more floor space for gear
