MY Pepsi Experience

Thanks.

 

You know what I would like to add something to this thread.

I want all the people out there who think hey I don't have any OTR experience or man I will need a refresher course to apply to Pepsi, think again. Here is my situation.

I received my CDL in 2010. I went to orientation for TMC a week later and was sent home day 2 because of a misprint on my VA disability paperwork. Well I have not been in a truck since 2010. If you can drive than you can drive. Have confidence and just go for it.

 

I appreciate your insight. Are you still with the company? If so are you still in Philly?

 

Will do thank you. They already saying if the soda tax is passed they will be moving to Bensalem.

Well day one of orientation and my official start date May 16, 2016 has come and gone.

Not a bad day if I may say so myself. Filled with paperwork and videos. The videos were the hardest part of the day. We were served this amazing pizza for lunch by the HR specialist. Man was that buffalo chicken pizza amazing. We met with the driving supervisors and we're giving our start time for tomorrow which is 5:30AM. YES THATS RIGHT AM and I'm still on here updating this at 10:22PM. LOL joke will be on me and that coffee in the morning. Anyway was told to be there at 9 am and expect to be done around 5 pm. We ended up getting out of there at 2:30 pm so great day in my book. Only issue I have is that they expect us to have steel toe or composite toe boots tomorrow. What about the people who haven't worked in a while or have spent too much money on their brothers wedding. You expect me to buy steel toe boots in 6 hours smh. Oh well good thing I have some crap boots from when I worked for the railroad cause that's what I will be using for at least a week. Anyway that's all for now. Any questions please ask.
