    I worked for Pepsi both local and Otr and depending on the area and weather its a pbc location or private bottler u can make decent money the bulk guys usually are promoted from with in and once the get on they stay until they retire as for Frito lay the local box guys make good money as do the Otr guys

    Run from any coke job in Minnesota. Most of there drivers average $600 a week for 60-70 hour weeks. Trucks are mostly late 90s IHC stuff that are rigged and they will not provide straps for there loads.

    I have done both there bulk and route driver postions. I average anyware from 160-220 miles a day through out 2 states delivering 400-1200 cases.

    Pay basics are this, Bulk you get an hourly pay since most stops you merchandise yourself. At this I made $12 hourly.

    Route is salary plus a commission of .10 for every case you touch. Works out too be around 1300 take home every two weeks.

    Plus the other good things. They wont shut down for extreme weather. Most drivers have electric pallet jacks when there not being repaired. And lack of any and all communication. So basically its trucking. lol.

    Oh, almost forgot the best part, there quarterly reviews that allow you too receive a bonus for following cokes rule book too the letter. Too bad if you did every thing they wanted you too you would be running 20 hour days. And dear god don't drink a non-coke product where another coke employee can see you. That is evidently a big no-no. Loved how my direct supervisor #####ed me out for doing this.
