Too bad in the real world, you'll never be able to pull a pallet into a store like this. They forgot the part were you have to tear the pallet down and rip every box open so they can scan everything too. It's not so much Pepsi that make the job hard, it's the customers and their check in system.
Thats only good for supermarkets (Safeway, Luckys etc) where its a pallet drop. Unlike CVS, 7-11s and some gas stations you gotta break down the pallet and scan each item.
Much easier to unwrap it and pop open the sides of the cases to expose the barcodes than to hand truck everything in and end up doing the same thing anyway
WOW! Its about time. When I worked for Pepsi I use to run 23-29 stops on a short bulk trailer to Malibu California. With multiple loads on some pallets. So often I watched the sun come up and go down behind the wheel of my Pepsi truck. I'm glad to see Pepsi is finally using their head and making things easier and more efficient for drivers.
Bro half your day is spent picking shit off the sleds, they're not stable , the pickers stack them too high, the loaders don't strap , and all the stuff slides off.
This system is horrible, does not fit into every cooler, it's too wide on the sides, pallet jack, then use the dsd shuttle, it's just inefficient, horrible. Coolift by Magliner is way better.
they would never let this on the store floor with the electric jack making up the pallets takes forever delivering in a cold box is impossible you will have to climb over the pallet . the loads shifts and pallets all fall the systems suck and are not practical whoever buys them has no idea what a mistake they have made
our pepsi plant did now our productivity is down about 50 percent and they cant keep warehouse workers and our drivers to stay, it ruined our early nights and most trucks are over packed because management thinks they can fit those trucks to the max with this new method. so which in return has drivers just bringing back orders that we have to redo the next day.
DevinShaw50 that sounds like a nightmare. We switched over two months ago and it has been nothing short of a nightmare. I still use my dolly at almost every stop.
Now there is a piece of equipment called "the sled" that has replaced "the shuttle". It is way more sturdy than the shuttle shown in this video is. As some people have mentioned, Pepsi "drivers" are basically glorified merchandisers. The pay is WAY too low for the amount of work that is required. Either you're a driver and deliver the product and let the true merchandisers stock it, or you're a merchandiser, stocking the product. Pepsi is going to lose a LOT of drivers by forcing them to be merchandisers that happen to drive, and by forcing them to work Saturdays.
Being a picker in the summer time is a fucking joke. Working from 4pm to sometimes 8am in the morning, at least twice a week. The money was great, 800 bucks a week, but it wasn't worth my home life. The balance between the two was outrageous. Its literally 80 percent work, 20 percent home just for sleep.
If it was 2 nights a week that would be baller. Because you could just prepare for the nights coming since there's only 2 an there's 7 in a week an just sleep earlier rest prepare to work the long day an then it's over just 2 times is pretty nice
Mispicks aren't really possible with voice pick. Most likely drivers fucking up, as they usually do. Misloads happens but mispicks not with voice pick.
If your running Pepsi routes the fastest way to stay rolling is to print a pick list and review your skids what you got or don’t got, that way you can review your credits and take something off that may not be there to correct the new invoice ticket so when you hand it to the customer they can go over it with no hiccups.
So when you have your independent stores,which the parking lots, look like the crater of the moon, dont use."And if bringing in to a tight independently owned store just be careful of the tank top/ doorag display, the porkrines, and boiled peanuts. And if you acomplish that, wait 20 minutes for your check. .....Heyyy Buddy!!
Fill da cooler up buddy, first you fill and then I give you the check hahahaha fucken mooch customers, trying to to get you to spend 2hrs off their 40 case delivery
Stockton,ca does but San Francisco’s area refuses it. Our cases are to small for it plus the union won’t agree to it. We just use old school side loaders.
We use it. Sometimes it’s nice but jack has no traction in snow and most old places so beat up it’s a pain pushing it with a sled. Warehouse likes to stack 7 20oz high and it falla
I have to say, it is unbelievable that the driver is taking out the goods. He has to drive to unload and he also has to deliver it to the customer, too many obligations. 
Hi there, great video. Was wondering what the source of your information is. Am trying to use this information for a grad school project, but need to be careful with sources. Cheers
how many stores got a perfect floor / basement bumps etc oh in a perfect world ? let alone going thru the front door shop with that 2020 and i never seen this kinda deliver here lol
Hell nah I wouldn’t be loading and then unloading the trailer. I notice that local drivers bust their ass every day in every min and every sec just to home by 12 hour days and for only $26 a hour?? More like pay $120 a year this . The upper management get paid $130 to $300k a year just sitting their ass down
DemikB16a nope. I passed. They had it listed as full time. Though it wasn't actually full time. You may only make like $10,000 your first year. You may make $50,000. It wasn't actually full time. Just on call. So who knows how many hours I would have actually got. I couldn't risk that.
neolightproductions I’m thinking they do this to see if the guy can actually handle the job. Then once you prove yourself they move you up. I’m making 62,400 a year salary right now out twenty eight days home four. But it’s so expensive living on the road and inconvenient
Worked at Pepsi for two years, this system legit helped for the bigger stores like dollor general and sum gas stations. But it doesn't move in the snow or ice and no curbs. Half the places ya staged the pallet and used the two wheeler.
Hardcorediver44 I'd rather work a 14 hour day than not work at all ...I'm currently a delivery driver for a pizza company ( deliver cheeses flour etc) and it takes me from 2am to about 4 pm ...but knowing that I have a job is a great feeling
Go apply at Fedex Freight to work the dock. They have a driver trainer program. They will help you get your class A and certify you to haul doubles and get your Haz mat endorsements. Then get ready to work 12-14 hours a day. But at least you get paid. You can make about 390.00 a day. Its no life because you are tired all the time. But at least you wil bring home 1200 take home a week.
James Morris yea right what happens when you get those back country stores and it's a gravel parking lot and plus you have to run your truck in the order of the manifest with this system if you get to. Stop and coke and bud light Are there guuess your going to be waiting a while
Looks better than the sideload trucks though. Sideload you will work just trying to stack everything up. At least this system saves time though I'm sure there are flaws too
one touch?? why does a loader need a headset this was called custom loads but now the loader is under duress to produce # cases loaded in his work day this is nice for the driver but managment hassles the loader for being slow but look at all the handleing the loader has to do
We switched over last October, I bidded my route about a month ago. I have to say it is a nice system, allot less work involved. one big disadvantage of geo box vs d-bay is that you have to run the route the way its loaded, and they dispatch out of San Antonio. We are located in sw pa, they will gave me going past stops all day long, back and forth. Another thing they "sold" us on is the bulk stops at the beginning of the route, "you will get bulk stops, two to seven pallets off right at the beginning of the day", and that's all well and good until you have to pick up five stacks of empty pallets and shells. Definitely less wear and tear on the body, but its a huge time suck.
Look guys it sucks, but you can make it work, plus its better than a side loader, the part where he took it into a store is funny, but you can take it in long ways.
