Oscar Mayer is looking for 12 people to drive Wienermobiles across the U.S. One of them could be you.

Last week, we reported that Smashing Pumpkins put out an open call for their new guitarist.

Now, another cool job has opened up, and you don't need to know how to play a G chord.

Oscar Mayer announced Monday that they are looking for their next round of Hotdoggers — aka the people who drive the famous Wienermobile.

Traveling an average of 20,000 miles each year, Hotdoggers visit at least 40 cities across the country and attend more than 1,200 events. Each Hotdogger is entrusted with driving and maintaining the 27-foot hot dog on wheels, along with creating social content for the brand’s channels during their “meat” and greets (not our joke) across the country.

Yikes! What a workload...
* 20,000 miles each year
* 40 cities
* 1,200 events

Having perused the requirements and compensation I’m not sure about the compensation. Oscar Mayer is certainly a well-established brand. Heinz is tainted by the Kerry name.

Anyway, I’m sure they’ll find their drivers.

I would thing those things difficult to drive if not dangerous. The way everyone speeds and cuts you off, they look like they have blind spots galore.

“What do the Hotdoggers get? A $35,600 base salary plus $150 per week for meals and personal travel, 18 days of paid time off, all hotel expenses covered and a full health benefits package. And of course, the honor of driving the Wienermobile”.

I wonder if the $15o a week ‘personal travel’ means you pay for gas out of that and with that schedule I see it being used up fast.

Hopefully, Oscar Mayer didn’t go woke and make the Wienermobile EV.

There are literally thousands of applicants for the 12 positions every year.

I didn't notice "All the hot dogs they could eat."

Oscar Mayer is now a Kraft-Heinz company. Which means its profits benefit John F’n Kerry. I know their hot dogs are very good, especially with sauerkraut, but still.....

In the 1950s the TV commercials proclaimed Oscar Meyer to be "the world's smallest chef," played by a midget, who cooked hot dogs in his "tiny, tiny kitchen" inside the vehicles. One of the Wienermobiles once stopped at a shopping mall near my home, and I got to see Oscar Meyer in action.

Luhr, another meat packing company, competed with Oscar Meyer at the time. They operated the Luhr Rocket, a "rocket ship" mounted on a trailer. Inside was a small theater where viewers could watch a movie simulating a ride through outer space. I took a ride through space on the Luhr Rocket in the spring of 1958.

And getting hit on by gay men.

Warren Buffet bought out most of the Heinz stake in the company, so most of T’s billion or two billion dollar fortune is now invested elsewhere.

I'm applying...I heard Ryan Newman is applying, too.

He can only do left turns...🤓

But just think about it. You could be a babe magnet and have groupies. (Then again in this day and age that might not be a good thing.)

[jmaroneps37]

Is it an ev?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

LOL...you’re either going to be a Babe Magnet or a Homo Magnet!

What a risk to take! Maybe the previous weiner guys could tip you off in advance.
