  • Attention to Detail: We want to avoid breakdowns and stranded drivers. Your approach to preventative maintenance should be diligent, even meticulous when it comes to maintaining our fleet.
  • Initiative: You are out in the field by yourself much of the time. Our best people would put it this way: we need folks who can show up and work until the job is done.
  • Leadership: You will manage situations that might involve providing instructions to coworkers in the spirit of safety, efficiency, and cooperation. Frito-Lay leaders will trust you to make good decisions.
  • Tech Savvy: Technology will enable you to quickly diagnose mechanical problems, and you will also draw upon your computer skills when installing electronic logging devices such as tablets and dashboard computers.
  • Teamwork: It’s important that you work well with others because you will regularly interact with our Regional Drivers, vendors, and other team members.
