    we pull for frito at times thru our company and have gotten to know quite a few of the drivers. Most of them seem happy and have stayed with the company for quite a while. They also seem to keep there drivers fairly busy the only complaint i have heard and when we sometimes encounter when we pull for them that the load may not be ready to go

    There trucks are governed fairly slow, according on one of their drivers with whom I spoke. But loads are light. They seem to have a waiting list for drivers. I think they pay fairly well.

    "But loads are light." Ya' think? How heavy can chips be? They don't even fill the bags full. And yes, there's some sarcasm there. BOL

    Yeah,ya wouldnt have to worry about being over weight. :P GMAN was right. Their trucks do run pretty slow. Good company. They are in cahoots with Pepsi. I hear that they pay well,too.

    packages are filled by weight, not by volume, contents may have settled during handling.

    I think I've seen some large Frito trailers with only one axle on the trailer. They have to be pretty light loads I bet Cheetos would way a bit more, but its only a guess :wink:

    I knew a loose girl in school. She was free to lay.
    Don't trust anybody. Especially that guy in the mirror.

    Default Frito

    Be careful what you are getting into. They have drivers that deliver to what is know as Bins. These are out of the way locations where they run retail routes out of. You will be required to hand unload the entire trailer from the trailer to the warehouse. This sometimes involves quite a walking distance. You may think chips are light until you unload 8,000 cases entirely by yourself. Reminder....they make dips and salsa too! These by the case aren't too light.

    I used to be a regional sales manager for Frito Lay so if you need any other info just let me know.
