Planters Is Offering $45,000 a Year to Drive Their Nutmobile

Ever dreamed of cruising across the country in a giant peanut? No? Well, Planters is hiring Nutmobile drivers, and they’re offering $45,000 plus perks for you to embrace your inner nut. The job isn’t just about driving—it’s about representing the brand, meeting people, and making everyone on the road wonder, “Why is there a giant peanut stuck in traffic?”

This is not your average job. The Planters team is looking for recent college grads with a sense of adventure, a love for road trips, and presumably, a strong tolerance for peanut puns. The Nutmobile program includes marketing gigs, event appearances, and probably explaining to your parents why you went to college only to drive a peanut on wheels.

But before you get too excited about joining this nutty mission, there are a few things to consider. Let’s break it down:

Top 5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Driving the Nutmobile

1. Can You Handle Peanut Jokes All Day, Every Day?
   If your sense of humor cracks under pressure (pun intended), this might not be the job for you. You’ll need to laugh at “nutty” jokes even when they’re saltier than the snack.
2. Are You Cool With Being Known as “That Peanut Guy/Girl”?
   Every event, every city, every stop—your identity is tied to this legume. Forget your name; you’re now The Peanut Person.
3. Do You Like Explaining Your Job to Strangers?
   Be prepared to tell curious onlookers, “Yes, I get paid to drive this peanut,” at least a thousand times. Bonus points if you can say it without rolling your eyes.
4. How’s Your Parallel Parking?
   If you struggle with a Honda Civic, imagine squeezing a peanut the size of a school bus into a tight parking spot. You’ll need next-level driving skills—and nerves of steel.
5. Are You Ready for Endless Road Trip Snacks?
   If the smell of roasted peanuts gives you hives, this is not your calling. You’re surrounded by peanuts all day. No escape.
