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.
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
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
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.
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
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!..
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.
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.
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?
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!
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
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. Now it's like 29 cents and $179 base. And will go up a 2 cents per year $5 to base for a couple more years after till next union contract
@@cmb9059how fast, how excessive and how unsafe were you working? What do your health and retirement benefits look like? What is your local economy like? All questions that can make $40/hr dwindle down to $14/hr. I just an justify all that work for…practically nothing. I appreciate you guys for keeping my root beer stocked but fuck that shit 😂
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 thank you so much! That makes me feel better to know they’ll help a person. I was nervous if I might f*ck up something by using their equipment. Keep up the good work man! Hopefully I’ll get CDL and I might work for, Pepsi.
The cost of reefer trailers is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than dry van trailers. Plus Pepsi and coke have a very limited of product that needs to be chilled.
Hey why Didn't you put back the Blue Jack you got out of the 1st Truck if you Applied to work with PEPSI as a Truck 🚛🚛 Delivery Driver will the Company Blame you as a Driver for Messing with other Drivers Semi Rigs.. Or Might you Even get Fired...
Yoo ive been looking everywhere in nj for cdl A job idk what it is bout Pepsi but its really pulling me tours it. Im not a big soda drinker but when i go in is definitely a Pep. Im really considering applying at pep. Is calling me hardcore. 😎🧐 this best pep CDLA vid ive seen so far. I appreciate you brother. 🫡💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🦾🔥 i love your positive vive threw out the vid. Im hipe!!!! 🔥🔥😎
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
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**.
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.
This video makes no sense. You don’t walk around looking for a truck. You take someone else’s truck, you will have problems. Good luck dude. This IS NOT how beverage companies work. Fishy.
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 .
Mannnn people don’t pre trip like that🤣🤣 you sound like a school instructor, you check fluids once a week, not every fucking day, you check the tires and lights everyday though
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.
Yeah. I was wrong for that. It’s just it’s a cycle that goes on at our facility sometimes. Because if you noticed I had no truck nor equipment on mines. But you definitely right I know better than to continue that bad cycle.
True but that’s one of the easiest way to stay local in your first year. If a driver don’t want to be over the road just do food or beverage first year then go ltl
@@Gods_Chosen07 only reason I started at Pepsi . Hated the job bcz of the merchandising and the check in process was crazy bcz they sell a million types of drinks but I definitely didn’t want to be away from home 2-3 weeks per month
@@johndoe9134 it’s just my opinion. I worked for Sysco, Dicarlo foods and Long Island beverages and they all suck. To much labor and a lot of room for injury. I now work for a company doing P&d (pick up&delivery) making $31 an hour and doing way less work. I basically back in to docks all day.

Wasssup it's ya boi! Me: ya no thank you I'm out. I'll check you out in a few years when you mature a bit. RU-vidrs have one vocabulary now : small & lame.
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!
Lol mine was like 2 months . They just wanted u to know n learn way too much . Food service scan n drop maybe more physical but definitely way easier work overall than beverage
