How to become an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile driver: Application, salary, more

There is perhaps no more iconic car today than the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Featured in pop culture, commercials, and sketch comedy shows worldwide, the iconic hot dog-shaped vehicle rivals even Batman’s Batmobile for brand recognition.

The Wienermobile is a real-life phenomenon that has been seen driving from city to city since the 1930s, promoting Oscar Mayer hot dogs and other products. These days the Wienermobile is actually a fleet of vehicles, and that means the storied meat company needs a fleet of drivers.
