Although those new P. Diddy Pepsi commercials are very entertaining, Pepsi truck driving isn't just for P. Diddy. Pepsi is a large company that not only offers traditional job opportunities, but also truck driving jobs as well. Pepsi, a division of Pepsico, is a company built for growth. It is the third largest bottling company in the United States. They put their resources back into the companies growth, only venturing on safe, stable acquisitions and building the companies up inside. They are aware of risks and thus are more stable than many other companies.
Pepsico generates yearly revenues of $27 billion and employs 143,000 individuals, many of whom are truck drivers. Pepsi hires truckers based upon safety (potential drivers must be at least 21 years old with a clean driving record for at least the last three years), willing attitude (punctuality, helpfulness, accuracy, safety, professional manner), and a minimum physical capability (since truck drivers will have to lift 40 pound loads repeatedly through the day). Pepsi prides itself on offering equal employment opportunities to all people, valuing diversity in the workplace.
A truck driver in the Pepsi private fleet can rely on smooth running transportation management provided to private carrier PepsiAmericas by LeanLogistics. This TMS (transportation management system) provides for efficiency both monetarily and time-wise. The new TMS allows automated payment which eliminates much of the more time consuming manual processes. A good TMS allows electronic invoicing, and removes the need for third parties and the focus in on transporting the goods to the client.
