Tyson foods

Believe they require you to be vaccinated...

 

I’m coming up on two years there, and I can’t say anything bad about it. They’re a really great outfit to work for. There are several different fleets, so you can get a schedule and territory that suits you. There are others here that will chime in.

 

I’m regional, so around 22 to 2400. We get stop pay as well. Benefits are fantastic. Trucks are governed at 68 cruise, 66 foot. All have fridges and apu’s. Regional is mostly drop and hook. I can’t speak for otr. It’s low pressure, with plenty of time to make your deliveries. Dispatch is very easy to work with, and will help with any concerns you have.

 

Great! Best of luck! Just for more detail…

Safety bonuses pay out quarterly, and are progressive. 300, 600, 900 and 1200. Holidays worked pay out at 135 on top of regular pay. If you’re available for thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, it’s another 1350.

Trucks cycle out at 4 years or 550000. Trailers go for 7 years. All new trucks have halo systems. Trailers all have auto inflate. We’re 100% disc brake. We have nanny systems, but NO inward facing cameras. All trucks have microwave cubbies and tv mounts.

100% No touch freight.

I won’t touch on pay, as the fleets are all different. As I recall, we advertise an average of 85000. I can tell you it’s higher than that.

We’re not a trucking company. We’re a food company that hauls our own product. It’s a little different.

I’ll be checking in from time to time if you have questions. Be safe!
