im at a food company now wanting to get out of it. Wondering about Coca Cola they contacted me for an interview. I'm Salary st the food place getting paid pretty well. Just a pain having to dig to just get to product when it's buried. Would working for them be more work then doing food delivery? How much is pay and case count and stuff for Coke if anyone knows? Would Coke be less of a digging process then food?
I seen some coke guys with lift gate that has pre assemble pallets, not sure about sidebay guys, last time I was at pop, every 12pack was put together and have to dig. I'll say just stick it out, your company union? Just wait till the easy route comes and bid on it. Over at pop, the easy routes are the major stores like walmart, jewels etc etc which they just use a electric jack, drop the pallets and leave. Also union so there's gna be a wait to get those routes
Coke ain't a bad gig. Union job, so seniority has a lot to do with what you'll be doing. I'm not to familiar with them on the delivery side, but their linehaul position is an easy job. Pay start's off around $17 and it takes about 3 years to reach top rate, which is about $24. All drop and hook. I'm pretty sure their delivery drivers get paid hourly as well. Not 100% sure on that.
I did beer when I first started it depends on the operation. Coke Cleveland Bottling is side loader and bulk truck. Coke Lake-County is Coca Cola Corporate and is 28' lift gate trailer for everything. I think they use the Magliner System shown here:
My towns Coca Cola has a pay per completed day. I think it was around 150ish a day when I interviewed with them.
