Coca-Cola account

Class a truck driver

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You'll work 12-14 hrs everyday, some drivers were decent and got along with many.

Cons

Long shifts, management will make you do more than just drive. Yard checks, equipment breakdown verification, load availability check, live unloads for Coca-Cola at certain locations. Some drivers will not write breakdowns up until you go to do your pretrip and find flats, non working flashers, broken or missing u bolts.

The pay is limited based off the fact you don’t work a lot of hours. Management is also horrible in the way they talk to you often treating you like you’re beneath them.
