OTR Driver Apprentice – 454166

JOB REQUIREMENTS: $5500 Sign-on Bonus $85,000 / Year
Target Average / $1300 Weekly Guarantee Frito-Lays Regional Driver
Apprenticeship is a position that is designed for a prospective
candidate, with little to no experience operating a Class-A CDL motor
vehicle. The program includes a minimum of 10 weeks of paid training,
with the potential for additional weeks pending length and current
service in a truck driving CDL program. Upon successful completion of
the program, it is intended, based on availability after the training
that the employee will transition into a Regional Driver position. No
experience is required but must have a valid Class A CDL. After
completing the mandatory driver training and onboarding, you will be
available to be assigned to the variety of work we offer. Start times
vary by route and scheduled dispatch. We asked current Frito-Lay drivers
what frequent tasks they should expect when they come aboard, and here
is what they had to say: You will safely operate a tractor/trailer
(usually an automatic Volvo, international or freight liner;
diesel/natural gas) and transport products to and from specified
destinations under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. This is
a physical job. We load and unload trailers — this can be manual, it
could involve palletized loading/unloading, using four-wheeled carts, or
requiring the use of a two-wheeler. You will also be lifting things
over your head. You will transport chips, dips, and more to and from
large grocery stores, Frito-Lay manufacturing facilities, rural storage
units, vendor and backhaul locations, and other traffic centers. You
will obtain the signature of the receipt, pick up returns complete logs
and other paperwork related to deliveries, and review invoices and/or
manifests. You will use an electronic logging device such as a tablet or
an onboard (dash) computer. We have regular contact with our
customers, sales drivers, and dispatch, so you can expect to talk to
people at various points throughout the day or night. Like the rest
of our drivers, you will be responsible for pre- and post-trip truck
inspections. Your work hours may be up to the legal limits allowed by
the FMCSA and require overnight trips as well as weekend and/or holiday
work. We run routes 24/7 and DOT hours vary slightly by location.
Dispatch times vary, first 1.5 years no regular schedule, and will be on
call. Given our large salaries and phenomenal benefits, you might wonder
what will give you an edge when you apply. Heres an idea of what
Frito-Lay drivers expect of one another: Safety Focused: your mind is
focused on safety when you operate 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 how you do things in the spirit of cooperation, safety, and
efficiency. Communication is a two-way street. Did you encounter a
safety hazard? Were there issues with your delivery? Your honest
feedback is valued here. Flexibility: the schedule you work wont be
set, but instead it will vary from 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 Our application takes 10-15 minutes to finish on any device. Our
mission is to get you in for an interview instead of jumping through
hoops. Just keep an eye on your e-mail, and we will take care of the
rest. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or disability
