Tyson Private Fleet?

[wbw71]

Was interested if any one has or currently works for Tyson. I have searched the archives and have not found any current information from drivers. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

They're chicken haulers.

Would that be live or dead chickens. Could be chicken feed. BOL

Meat-packing plants are horrendous for long wait times. .36 cpm is not good money for private-fleet pay...more like coolie-carrier wages...always see Tyson advertising with the rest of the coolies.

You should not turn the key to the right for anything less than .38 cpm starting and top-out after 1 year over .40 cpm. But you will see that 95% of OTR trucking pays squat and is best to be avoided...save for the drifters, hobos, ex-cons, and lifestyle apologists.

A coolie carrier hiding behind a national name brand. Danger Will Robinson! No go.

I'm surprised that you didn't find anything in the archives. There are posts about Tyson in the archives for sure. Most are of the 'avoid at all cost' nature.

BTW, I have also been attempting some searches that I know should be returning results and am getting nothing. There must be some problems with the search function.

Didn't the board have some server issues or something a while back. My guess is some of the older threads were lost.

Mich Ultra Light........low carb? Have a couple for me Jed!

Oh shoot! I forgot about that Jed. Poor Coolio! LOL I think it is a combination of the fumes, and breathing that clean DuPont, Praxair (Union Carbide), Degussa, Borg-Warner and Shell air as a youngster!

Have fun at the 33 Carry Out!

No, he knew nothing about LTL. There was a lot that new guys could learn from him. Hope he is doing well!

[feederfred]

Yeah, breathing that PRAXAIR crap can do that to you........you should be inhaling LINDE industrial gases (recommended by 3 out of 4 factories) much better for you !! (and there's my plug and now I'm done....)

[jd112488]

damn feeder fred, i guess i need to get a job pulling for your competetion now. nah, i still like picking on the old brown ups drivers...i got alot of good ones for them. enjoy semi retirment.

[feederfred]

ahhh....I like that phrase...."semi-retirement"...if only I could afford to. Thanks (and hello to CFM-we know who you are....)

[jd112488]

you know fred, nothing against you or brown. but i talk to a few drivers on the radio...the 3 ups drivers that talk to us low life truck drivers. and i also play golf with a p&d driver, at least that is what we call them at fxg. anyway, they all seem to say the same thing, that ups is not bad but they hat the bs, but at the same time they have been there so long that it would be foolish to leave. because of the retirment..pension and all that. i was wondering your opinion. i am still young, 33, i think so. nut my kids and wife make me feel old, the grey hair helps that too. anyway, i used to run with a girl that ran team for them and she told me what she was making and i thought that would not be bad, if they ever brought the team operations to columbus and i could somehow slide into one.

LOL feederfred. You'll be glad to know that I get my regular dosage of LINDE gases about 2 times a month! I take 'em 7500 of #2 clear to the Indy/Harding St. terminal. Have made some good contacts over there. Been told to bring in my paperwork if I am interested.........

Say it ain't so! Jed is CFM? I never would have thought. Good call feederfred! Jed/CFM/LBJ/Coolio......you've officially been outed!!

[jd112488]

i am pretty sure cfm is not me...pretty sure, but i do here alot of voices in here.

I am happy with them. I get decent miles, good benefits, and haul their product. They have beef, chicken, and pork. I did not like their orientation. You do have to do some running after midnite sometimes, but you know before picking up the load. Hope this helps.
