    Does anyone know what the general pay is for Coca-Cola tractor trailer? Not the one that goes to gas stations but the routes that go from warehouse to warehouse. I have a job now that’s paying around 60k (ATL). A guy from coke gave me his card and said they’re hiring a few more drivers for coke and I’m considering applying. Thank you

    From the bottling plant to the distribution warehouse. That wouldn’t be CocaCola. The Coke drivers would be route drivers. Coke would employ in house carriers to drop and hook from the bottling plant to the various warehouses. The main one that comes to mind for your area would be Cowan. They run the stuff from the bottlers to the warehouses. Coke will then have the route drivers take the stuff from their local warehouses to the customers via their own route drivers.

    Luck in battle.

    I was in the coke distribution plant when he gave me his card. He was driving a Coca-Cola truck and his card said Coca-Cola on it. I think he told me it was “Coca-Cola transport”. Maybe that’s not actually coke? But his card says Coca Cola on it...

    You said that you wanted to go from warehouse to warehouse, correct? The ones that do that run a regional route, between the Coke bottling plant and a distribution warehouse. The guy you are referring to probably runs between the distribution warehouse to the customer (the grocers and gas stations....etc). If your goal was to run from warehouse to warehouse, drop and hook, the company that handles that in your area isn’t Coke Transport , but Cowan.

    Ok. I’ll have to ask him next time I see him. All I know is that his card says Coca Cola United, but maybe that is a Cowan.

    Do you know anything about the pay for Cowan? Is it hourly? They’re running 11 hours a day about.

    Cowan runs green daycabs. Red Classic will look identical to Coke, and they run red Mack daycabs.

    Route drivers. They go from distributor to customer. Not from warehouse to warehouse.

    He told me he went from warehouse to warehouse. I actually asked 2 of the drivers and they both said the same thing. This is in Atlanta where the big coke is so maybe they’re moving it to other warehouses for another driver to move it to the customer.
