Questions about Frito Lay

Is it an RDS driver you have to fill in for when you drive the small box truck? And if so does it pay by the hour? We used to fill in for RDS drivers when they took vacation or time off and got paid hourly, but not anymore now we deliver by the case/stop/mileage. Not sure why it changed but we also deliver it with a semi and some of those stores are delivered with a straight for a reason. I don’t have to worry with that anymore but I think they made it harder for the guys who do! I went and ran vacations in Little Rock before and it was alright.

 

The most I’ve had on a vend run was 2100, on bin was 2790, but I recently did a plant to plant and it was cubed out with 3600 cases. So glad it was just a D&H.

 

that’s good to hear. I was promoted to the bid board back in January. They said that that was a record for DBS to promote someone that fast to the bid board. They promoted 5 of us at the same time. At the time of the promotion we had only been with the company for 6 months.

But you’re definitely right about being super busy due to covid-19. We have been swamped with work. The only positive is that on vends we no longer have to unload, we have to hire a lumper and we still get the case pay.

 

Thanks for the update, man! Been wondering..fer'sure, fer'sure. (You oughta update elsewhere too, ya know!)

KUDOS on things going mad hatter busy / money for you, however. I'm getting it too. I haul 'boxes' in 'boxes' for Int'l Paper if you recall...well ... stores need BOXES and packaging for product, 'lest they hand out Campbell's soup by the ladle, and Heinz ketchup by the packet, haha! Love it while you got it; stay safe, and best wishes on getting your own bid run!!

And..btw: To you and yours~! >>

 

Wow bandito is it that way at all plants? I am going check on that here at Jonesboro. My bid run is up in 2 weeks and I may go back on the core board for the next bid if it is. Glad to here all is well for you!

 

I am so glad you have figured it out. I see so many guys quit after about 3 or 4 months because they get aggregated because they are having to pull mostly crap runs and they really are past the worst part if they would just tough it out. It only gets better from now on Icecold!

 

In regards to the peeps...


Otherwise all I have to say is...right back at ya @G13Tomcat.



Stay safe folks don't eat to many Frito flavored peeps.

Sirscrapntruckalot - Will the Easter Bunny have to wear a mask an gloves? These are the things we need answers to!
