Yeah good luck General on getting the job

 

[Johali]

Good luck with the Coke job.
I just hope it is not a delivery job. God bless the guys who do it.

I interviewed with Coke for a CDL store delivery job. I thought it was a joke when they told me what the pay was. The pay just to have a CDL was laughable and slinging cases was a joke also.
The other parts of the job was nuts.
God bless the guys that do it.

My nephew is a delivery driver for coca cola and has been for 40 years. He say's the work isn't too bad and they're absolutely great to work for. This is the pay scale. He makes in the $60K plus range.

According to payscale.com, the average Coca Cola delivery driver earns:$32,149-$83,306 per year. $15.21-$25.25 an hour. $39,841 median pay.

Well since they arent rushing off to another part of the country I imagine they would run it whenever it dries out this week.

Better for the track if they move it to next Saturday with the Busch race. That will boost attendance.

It's never too early to create a panick.

Hot passes, free tickets...sheesh I'm moving to NC to get some of that good fortune

I’m lucky to get free tickets to the bowling alley up here lol

I agree completely. Canadian GP asked, kkfan91 responded, I doubled down. Personally, I think they'll slip it in between the raindrops tomorrow or Sunday.

It was 2014 when I interviewed with Coke in Harrisburg, Pa.

The pay for having a CDL and just driving the truck was $125 per 10 hr day. Which is $12.50 an hour. A joke to maintain a CDL license with all the regulations to keep the license.

The rest of the pay was the number of cases on the truck. They wanted me to plan my own route on my home computer on my own time. Also they said if I had a question to call a veteran driver during the day. I just looked at them because it is illegal to use a cell phone unless it is hands free. Plus I am sure people love to get many calls so they can't get there job done. Plus at all.stops the driver has to make sure the place has the money to pay. About as crazy as the Frito-Lay driver who told me he has to run down bad checks on his route.
The guys who interviewed me all.started as delivery men and told me how great it was but yet they both transferred to other positions, to funny.

What about open quals?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What about open quals?

Open quals were called off a while ago. They'll start on owner points.

 

[jws926]

I think ASR qualifying is my new favorite thing with the no speed limit on pit road.

Thanks!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

So they're going to Q with no P?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Can't believe JJ got that car stopped. LOL

 

[Thegeneral23]

Do these cars seem slow to y’all?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Do these cars seem slow to y’all?

Not to me.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Do these cars seem slow to y’all?

Slow as ****. Top out around 165???

 

[harkin]

Holy heck they coming into the pits hot.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I'm one of those that don't really care about the speed --- I watch the racing.

 

[Musrat#2]

I hope the racing is good because these cars look like there in slow motion

 

[FLRacingFan]

I'm one of those that don't really care about the speed --- I watch the racing.

The speed affects the racing.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Slow as sh!t. Top out around 165???

163 at the line lmaooo

 

[harkin]

Nice spot for a storm drain.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Speed is the reason I watch autoracing instead of horse racing.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wow those ducts really do differ between OEMs.

Speed is racing I don't wanna watch turtles racing

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Just call me "old school" --- I remember when 165 was FAST. Who knows, it may improve the racing. We'll just have to wait and see.

 

[*WEAVER*]

I glanced up awhile ago and thought they were under caution.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

They used to race with goggles instead of windshields too.

 

[Thegeneral23]

I feel u I’m the same way! This looks crazy lol

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Aaaaaand thats why Kahne is no longer at HMS.

 

[DUN24]

Love the moron talking heads and racecar drivers that say “fans can’t tell the difference between 195 and 170”

 

[Thegeneral23]

Slow as sh!t. Top out around 165???

I thought so too! Don’t even look exciting, I love watching them go 190-200 and up this 150 is slow, my sister civic can do this speed smh

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I still say we have to wait and see if this produces good racing.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Cars are so slow they might not get a big draft or have enough power to pass.

I hope it's not a parade.

 

[jws926]

That is so weird after all the years of watching NASCAR seeing the pit crews doing the left side first

 

[Musrat#2]

Exactly gotta have horsepower to pass! You could probably take a nap and just miss one lap SMH!
