[
Yes I hear what you are saying,No job is perfect you half to look at everything as a whole and decide from there,I do know that they sure are'nt many companies out there who pay as much as Frito,I been trying just to get a app in for 3 1/2 years and just recently was able to do that,From all I have learned they hire abt. 1 out of 7 drivers they interview,Good Luck if you decide to go to work for them and get the chance.I assume you have already looked at the good info that has been sent to me on here abt. Frito,If they call me I an NOT going to pass this job up forsure,Good Luck



QUOTE=BigHomie030;3228528]I just went to an interview with Frito Lay yesterday. The pay is .51cpm .09 per case 10.50 per stop $75 layover and you get benefits starting on your first day you get hired. Also I was told by the bottom driver there he claimed he made 72k his first year and his only been there a year and a half. He also claims that this is a real physical job even though I say its only chips. But he might be right because even though its just chips when your talking about a 53,57, and or 59 ft trailer full of them then ur talking a lot of work! Yes management also said they are going to the new GS system in about 2 weeks they are finishing up the new plant to start the new delivery system. That driver I spoke with said you get 3 weeks your first year of vacation and your eligible to sale 1 week per year and you have to take the other 2. The downside is he says he works EVERY weekend and Every holiday except Christmas and turkey day. And believe it or not there is a slow season at Frito lay and its all seniority based. So there's a lot of good but also some bad. The equipment is 80% Volvo 2002's automatic and a couple rentals they have 53,57 and even 59 ft trailers. They said eventually all there trucks will be automatics and that if you do have a layover stay you will be compensated for the hotel you stay at. They do have half sleeper births but they do provide you with a card to stay at a hotel or you can get one of your choice and if you pay for it or they will reimburse you. They also cover $5 of your meals. The 401k is matched at 4% and I think that's about it. I don't know it seemed good to me the pay and benefits but that schedule man it just seems like you wont have a life to enjoy those benefits. I mean I know my wife will enjoy it but Ill be too busy to enjoy them. Don't know about it yet. They said they would call me if they where interested.[/QUOTE]
