We asked current Frito-Lay drivers what frequent tasks you should expect when you 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 in accordance with 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, or require 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, and other traffic centers.
* You will obtain signature of receipt, pick up returns and 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 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.

This position requires a lot of walking and lifting over your head, but we believe the rewards are worth it, and our drivers agree.

* Flexibility: the schedule you work 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, you will count cases to make sure orders are corrects, as well as using visual aids
