Company recruiting Wienermobile drivers
Hotdoggers double as brand ambassadors

Applications to drive Oscar Mayer’s vehicle are now open.
Recent college grads are invited to apply through Jan.31 to be part of
the American meat and cold cut producer’s next class of Hotdoggers, a 'one-year, full-time adventure,' Oscar Mayer said in a Dec.8 press release.
Oscar Mayer is accepting applications for its next class of Hotdoggers
as the company prepares to celebrate the Wienermobile’s 90th anniversary.
Established in 1988, the Hotdogger Program was created to mentor young talent and prepare future leaders who 'embody innovation, creativity and community spirit,' the brand said.
'The relished position offers fans the opportunity to become official spokespeople of the brand while living out its mission of sparking
smiles across the country,' Oscar Mayer added.
Each person is expected to drive and maintain the '27-foot-long hot dog
on wheels' over the course of a yearlong cross-country road trip.
Hotdoggers double as brand ambassadors, attending hundreds of events annually and developing custom content – all while visiting 'upwards of
30 states.'
According to a job posting from the Kraft Heinz Company, Hotdoggers earn
a base salary of $35,600, with a weekly allowance of $150 for meals and personal travel. Additional resources include a full health benefits package, 18 days of paid time off and 100% of hotel expenses covered.
Only 12 superfans will be selected to join Oscar Mayer’s 39th class of Hotdoggers and usher in the Wienermobile’s 90th anniversary.
Interested parties can apply for the position on the Kraft Heinz Career
Page and follow the journey on social media, mainly Instagram and TikTok.
I told my wife that even though I said that I'd never work (for a
paycheck) again, that OM was hiring to drive the Weinermobile. She
asked, "How much does it pay?" Of course I responded, "Who cares?"
It doesn't matter though. They'd never hire me because I'm on record as
to not liking hot dogs. :-(
If I were to eat one, it'd be cold out of the package, and scarfed down
as quickly as possible. Back in the late 1990s, Betsy and I did a float
with J.K. and his son. The river was low, and it took a lot longer to
get to the takeout than we'd anticipated, and when we got back to the
vehicle, I was famished. I had bought a 59 cent package of chicken hot
dogs on the way out, and no one else wanted any, so I ate those things
very happily.
