Ok, so you probably have no idea who a Hotdogger is and what a Hotdogger does.

Well, it’s one of us, the guys and gals who drive the Wienermobile, criss-crossing the country, looking for bridges that are high enough to drive under so we don’t get stuck . We thought it was only fair that you get to see the inside of the Wienermobile – including the people driving it. So, that’s why we created this blog. We hope you enjoy reading our stories and experiencing what being a Hotdogger is all about. We appreciate every wave we receive on the road and are thrilled you’re reading and commenting here.

We’ll try to respond if we can… (after all, there’s a lot of ground to cover). – The Hotdoggers

Franks for Your Concern

We were turning the Wienermobile around in a driveway, which is at the end of a dead-end street, and got into a bit of a pickle.  We are so relieved that no one was home and nobody was injured.  We promptly alerted police.  We are working with the local authorities and the appropriate insurance companies to fix the damage and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause the homeowner.  We are back on the hot dog highways spreading miles of smiles today.  Franks everyone for your concern.

Hotdogs That You Can Relish From

Being a hotdogger has so many perks, that sometimes it feels unreal. I’m so excited to partake in this journey and spread miles of smiles across the country. I love smiling and having fun, and being able to do this on a daily basis is a very overwhelming feeling. Meeting new people everyday, and making them smile when rolling into town with a 27 foot long hotdog is a very memorable experience. Look forward to sharing my stories while traveling coast-to-coast on this wiener roast.

Stepping out of the comfort zone

I never thought that I will have to overcome my fear of heights at Hotdogger High.  One of our exercises included major heights.  Rope claiming was the most challenging to me.  As I was getting closer to the top,  I was so scared to make a move and fall, but I knew I had to trust my team and overcome my fears.  When I reached the top, I had accomplished one of the team goals and I had step out of my comfort zone.  As a hotdogger, trust and team work are essential for success.

I came, I saw, I conquered

A lot of people remember the first time they saw the Wienermobile, I however will forever have engraved in my mind the first time that I drove it. 

Today, I had the opportunity to test my bunderful driving skills on an American Icon. My patience was tested though as I had to submit myself to an extensive training before I could get on the road. The wait was worth it. The moment my buns hit the pavement, I was inundated by honking, yelling, smiling and an overall sense of pride. This is just a taste of what is in store for me and I can’t wait to take a bite out of this franktastic opportunity.

We got to ketchup with Tom Hanks today at Good Morning America!

Tom said he was “impressed” with us (you can see his full interview here).  He stopped by as part of Oscar Mayer’s donation of 20,000 pounds of hot dogs to Feeding America, including Oscar Mayer Jumbo Beef Franks, the best-tasting beef hot dogs that recently won a national taste test.  We’ll tell you more about our franktastic meeting with him soon!

“Stories from the Road”

Driving the Wienermobile is a full time job, which means we spend nearly 365 days a year spreading miles of smiles everywhere we go. As you can imagine, we Hotdoggers have some pretty interesting adventures as we road trip across America. To give you a snapshot of what our life is like, the people we meet and the places we go, here are some of our most relished summer memories we’ve made while cruising around in our 27-foot hot dogs – and one “mini” 15-footer.

Enjoy and franks for visiting!
