Pepsi Trucks Automatic or 10 Speed?

I worked with Pepsi for a little over a yr out of Rome GA and they had mostly Automatics one 10 and 2 13 but your not a driver at Pepsi lol you run your ### off

 

How long have you been driving? My opinion is that the ability to shift will never totally go away if you've done it for around a year, or maybe even less time than that. You may be rusty, but it's kinda like riding the proverbial bike, as long as you've etched the skill into habit and muscle memory.

If you can shift now naturally without thinking about it or trying very hard, you'll always be able to get a manual truck down the road no matter how long you've been away from it. Just my opinion, anyway.

 

The older trucks are stick, barely any A/C, and the newer INT's are all auto and good A/C. They have some good jobs you can move into bulk and OTR. Keep an eye out for any openings at Frito Lay, its easier to transfer over once hired on with pepsi.

 

We have DD13s with the 12 speed automatic transmissions. The only time we use a 10 speed is when Penske does not have another automatic loaner truck .

Depends what you're doing. If you're bulk (lol, doubtful in the beginning) you'll be driving a 10 speed with icy cold AC. If you're running a sideloader (most likely) it'll be an automatic with no AC. Sorry

 

i feel ac is more luck of the draw some trucks on the sideloaders have good ac that works some didnt just my opinion as for bulk yes ac always works
