• You will be required to work on weekends and holidays.

Our drivers bid on routes using a seniority-based electronic board which maintains fairness for everyone. Start times vary by route and scheduled dispatch.

Frito-Lay drivers mentioned that frequent tasks include:

• Safely operating a tractor/trailer (usually an automatic Volvo, international or freight liner; diesel/natural gas) and transporting products to and from specified destinations in accordance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
• This is a physically demanding job. Drivers load and unload trailers, often manually, and may use palletized loading/unloading or a two-wheeler. They also lift items over their head.
• Drivers transport chips, dips, and other products to and from large grocery stores, Frito-Lay manufacturing facilities, rural storage units, and other traffic centers.
• They obtain signatures of receipt, pick up returns, complete logs and other paperwork related to deliveries, and review invoices and/or manifests.
• Drivers use an electronic logging device such as a tablet or an onboard (dash) computer.
• They regularly interact with customers, sales drivers, and dispatch, so expect conversations throughout the day or night.
• Like the rest of our drivers, they are responsible for pre- and post-trip truck inspections.
• Work hours may reach the legal limits allowed by the FMCSA and require overnight trips, weekend, and/or holiday work.
• We operate 24/7 routes, and DOT hours vary slightly by location.

This position requires extensive walking and lifting above your head, but we believe the rewards make it worthwhile, and our drivers agree.

Given our high salaries and excellent benefits, you might wonder what gives you an edge when applying. Here's an idea of what Frito-Lay drivers expect from one another:

• Safety-focused: prioritize safety while operating vehicles by practicing defensive driving. We have a strong reputation as transportation professionals on the road.
• Coachable and communicative: you can take feedback and adjust your actions in the spirit of cooperation, safety, and efficiency. Communication is a two-way street. If you encounter a safety hazard or issues with your delivery, your honest feedback is valued here.
• Flexibility: your schedule won't be set, but instead, it will vary day to day. Everyone at Frito-Lay works weekends and holidays.
• Self-motivated: our drivers are known across the company as hard workers, showing up and working until the job is done.
• Attention to detail: a sharp eye is necessary because you will review weight limits on manifests, count cases to ensure orders are correct, and use visual aids.
