Pepsi Interview Invite in Rhode Island

I realize there are other Pepsi threads but I appreciate replies if possible:
Welp, I just got an e-mail inviting me to interview either this Friday, or next Friday in the Cranston plant location for relief driver FT position. It gives you the option to pick a date and time. Only issue is that it is about 1 1/2hrs from my house but they are allowing people to apply who have only there CDL A permit which is myself. I have a Class B already, but would like the A. I've read that the job is rough and I in shape sure, if you consider round a shape, lol..

So, I'm not really sure what to expect obviously, but would be open to listening to what they have to say, and going into it with a very open mind. Clean MVR too.

My question is how would I be simultaneously working for Pepsi, but training to obtain the Class A? And/or has anyone got any information on the training process. Ultimately, I'd like to go OTR but there's no set timetable on that per se. So, could I go OTR for Pepsi themselves? Any information would be appreciated.

 

No idea. I hope to get some information on the rate of pay when (and if ) I elect to go to the interview. They have a plant close to my house in Sagamore but of course, they are not hiring for that plant. Not online anyways. And then I am not sure if it is a good idea to ask them in the interview "...say hey, while I realize that I am here for the job here in Cranston, you wouldn't happen to have any openings in Sagamore?". Oh yeah, I can see that going over really well, lol..

Anyways, I am just wondering that if we liked one another, and I was offered a shot at it, if it would be worth it with the commute and all to get the Class A. It would save me the $5K for the license and training for it, but I am just not sure if I could handle the commute + the job especially as a newbie. Ugh

 

Sounds attractive to me. I'm not afraid to work hard. I just would not want to burn myself out in 6 months or less.
