    Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any experience driving for Pepsi? I also have a interview with them coming up and I I've heard mixed reviews. Any info would greatly be appreciated!

    Ive had several friends work for pepsi and mixed reviews is correct. Its a lot of hard work and expect to get sticky as hell a LOT. but it pays decently and the pay while not stellar is consistant and steady. If your out of shape or fat and stick with it.....you wont be either by the end of a year.

    I worked for Pepsi out in Missoula MT for 2 years a little over 20 years ago now. The pay was on the low end at that time but I loved the schedule and we had good benefits. No doubt I was in the best shape of my adult life for those two years.

    What the others said lol. I've never worked for Pepsi but I worked of Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. Similar job. I lost weight so fast my uniform didn't fit right. You'll get some of the best sleep ever because it will wear you out. It's good money, but it will be well earned. Make sure you get am early start and don't waste time on routes.

    Thank you for your responses! I drive for a ltl company right now, the pay is good but just not enough hours. It sounds like that wouldn't be an issue at Pepsi. Thanks again!

    What's the job description ? A slight difference between side loaded C-store deliveries and bulk palletized deliveries to super markets, however I do notice store deliveries where the driver is stacking the shelves also.

    Cheeeburger, Chips, PEPSI, PEPSI, PEPSI,,what Allow Me said, bulk shipments would be like any other freight hauling, although a bit tippy, but those jobs go fast to the guys with bad backs that put in years on the grocery store circuit. If you are an LTL driver now, I bet you could walk into any freight outfit, and be driving that afternoon. I'd leave the soda biz for the newbies, you can do better than that.
