    Sorry, realized tab and enter doesn't work in this. Anyway, I never drove for Frito but hauled their loads on their wagons. Some of the drivers are a little spoiled, so it tells you that they have it good. Unloading is by the driver, but once you get the hang it is not that bad. Get an old timer to show you how to setup your handcart and you can wheel a whole stack of chips (from floor to ceiling on a drop van) at once, once you figure that out it will not seem nearly as bad when you open the doors of the full trailer LOL. On a side note, mostly I hauled their loads when the company drivers were out of hours or it was snowing (blizzards, throughout NYS & NYC) These are easy loads to pull, but if there is a chance of .0001% that the roads might be slick you better keep your distance and driver responsibly, these loads are VERY VERY light = no traction!!!!!!!! Trailers are good condition, only 1 problem and the dock leveling jacks were froze up, but it was -30 with the windchill so this technical difficulty was excused. This is definately a company that runs legal. When your hours are up you hit the motel. done. Never had a problem with anyone at Frito through any of my encounters. Work Hard, Do what you are supposed to, no problems.

    Most of those pay scales are correct,but I drive for Killingly Frito Lay,and we are part of the Teamsters with a contract. About 15% of our drivers are pulling in 3 figures. I've been there 3 plus years and my gross the first year was 53,000; second year was 65,000; and 3rd year 72,000. I only had 3 guys below me by seniority,my first year, now there is 18 guys below me. The turnover is really incredible. Alot of the drivers there have been there for more than 20 years. We are still looking for 21 drivers for our area. But,like on most of these posts on this site, you do have to unload cases. It does add up though. Dont think of a fully loaded trailer,think of the cash you make when it is empty..

    Rolling Frito Lay Sales are actually the drivers that do store door delivery.....not OTR. They drive single axle box vans and service retail grocery stores. Usually 3 stops a day I think.
