    Driving for Pepsi is very stop dense in other words you won't be doing that much driving, but you will be doing a lot of delivering and unloading. You'll probably have somewhere a long the lines of 18-25 stops. They do a lot of dollar stores and that involves you bringing the product in, building the displays making sure all the correct product is in and properly merchandised and then leaving and cleaning up after your self. An entire stop like that could easily take an hour plus change. Lots of small, medium and large format stores plus nursing homes, auto parts stores, sporting good stores oh the places you'll go. You'll be walking and driving the two wheeler more then the big truck.

    I don't mean for this to sound wierd or anything but loading and unloading trucks don't bother me... I loaded and unloaded 22,500lbs a night not including pallets, drums full of liquid and multiple 25lbs of bagged acid content for quite awhile...

    It’s a little bit different on a delivery route vs just unloading a trailer parked in a dock. Because you’ll be dealing with customers and there’s a way everything has to be done and payments and money to keep track of. Plus it can be a long day trying to get all those stops off.

    The real question is - does Pepsi wipe front to back or back to front?

    That's not much lower than what the LTL P&D guys are starting out at around my area. And if Pepsi pays overtime after 40 hours, that's actually better than most LTL companies. That's not bad pay at all I figured beverage delivery paid less than that, like in the $20 per hour range.

    Yeah pepsi bulk pays good, but you’ll work more than a typically P+D guy id imagine.

    the side loaders in my town make about 69kish in rural south Florida, but it’s blood money totally not worth it imo
