PepsiCo

Kalil Bottling Co. They have an office in Phx and in Tucson. Not sure where else. They haul drinks to stores and merchandisers merchandise that stuff.

 

But it's not Pepsi right? There's no way in the world Pepsi would give someone 10 stores to packout. What products do you carry?

 

Low man or relief driver (we call them jumpers) shouldn't mean anything. Everyone gets paid the same. If you run a route you get base pay plus commission plus OT plus shells- if you're bulk you're hourly- if you're just picking up shells you're hourly (but less than bulk) and if you have to pack out you're hourly (shell rate usually).

 

We don't get paid for shells, some of the older guys told me we use to but don't anymore. You can tell because if I pick someone else's route up their are usually shells everywhere.

 

Lol. That sucks. But I guess if they have to cut (cuts are everywhere) that's not a bad place to cut. Better than charging you for health insurance I guess.

 

No. They cary RC Cola. A&W. Root Beer, Welchs Grape. Also, Monster and Vitamin Water. etc.

 

Pepsi pays for your health insurance?. I have to pay for mine sadly. Mine is expensive also, me and my wife recently married this past November are expecting so this insurance is expensive but best for all her appointments.

 

Yeah. They don't pay yours? How does that work? We have group insurance. I can add as many people as i want (family members of course) and it doesn't cost anything.

Congrats on the baby by the way. That's awesome!!!!

 

We get to choose from like four different plans, and thank you I appreciate that, what Pepsi plant do you work for

 

I work for an independent plant..I used to work at PepsiCo...but I left because it wasn't worth it. Pepsico has turned it into a job- versus a career. Charging for health insurance, no pension, not contributing to 401k etc etc.

Didn't used to be that way at Pepsi. Used to be a GREAT career and an awesome living for your family
