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.

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