Or something similar?  Experiences?

Yes.  I've worked for both Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group.  What do you want to know?

What do you do besides drive from store to store taking merchandise from the warehouse to the shelves?

Do you have a set route or are you basically on call during the day and go where needed when needed?  What kind of miles do you put on your car?

I work in beer sales and know the Coke Pepsi guys in my territory, our businesses are very similar.  The toughest thing I deal with as it pertains to my merchandisers is they dont make sure to fill all the product and following the plan-o-grams for each store.  The plus-es are that it is largely easy mentally, pay can be good for the type of work it is and there's opportunity to advance.  The low lights are: its hard work, long hours and you have no control over what the salesman orders into the store and to be quite frank you need thick skin, grocery managers will treat you like dirt and you have to take it.

I worked for coke for 3 years. You started out filling in for guys off days and vacation then got my own route. I went ro the same place everyday

A shitload. You can drive your own vehicle, sometimes you have to take a truck if there is something special you have to take to the store. You just have certain

stores you have to visit, I don't think the schedule is that rigid as far as order and time constraints. Our guy drives in from Spiro, Oklahoma and I'm in Paris, Arkansas

You will be very busy at every major holiday.

I went to work for Coke when I got laid off, it was super easy, but the guy I worked for was a douche.  When I went in to the stores for the first time after I got my route the managers would treat me like shit, but if you busted ass got the shelves filled and cleaned up your area in the back room so you took up as little space as possible they will treat you like gold.  I got the route where I shop because it opened up when I got hired, I still have a manager at the grocery store come up and tell me I was the best merch they have ever had and once he even took me in the back to show me what the backroom looked like since I left.    The pay was ok $11/hr and I got paid 0.54 a mile. Where I was the manager would track you on your Blackberry that they gave us, and would call you if you deviated from the route he wanted you to take store to store, everything you did you did on your phone clock in/out check in/out when you get to or leave the stores and it would track you on GPS. I put a ton of miles on my truck because they had me training in North Kansas City 45 miles from my house one way and then I had a rural type route and then sometimes I would get add on stores because someone didn't show for work.  I could go on but this is already a wall of text let me know if you want to know more.
