    If Tyson Foods OTR truck drivers are hauling beef, chicken, ham, lamb, mutton, pork, and various other frozen foods, chances are they are using reefers which are quite cold.

    Why would they need a gas mask to enter their loaded trailers?

    Tyson Foods OTR truck drivers have a reputation of being some of the best paid and best treated truck drivers in all of the United States of America!

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Yes, you tell me! Apparantly the use of bulk CO2 at the Monett, MO plant can literally make you pass out.in a preloaded trailer. Guess we should hold our breath when installing load locks in preloaded trailers.

    Maybe Tyson thinks they are paid to much . I am seeing more Tyson trailers being pulled by other carriers .

    DO YOU POSSIBLY FORESEE TYSON FOODS PHASING OUT THEIR FLEET OF TRUCKS ALTOGETHER?

    For the sake of the Tyson Foods OTR truck drivers, I SURELY HOPE NOT!

    Some of the Tyson Foods OTR truck drivers have been with the company for many years, some earning as much, if not more, than $60,000 a year plus medical and retirement benefits.

    Some of the Tyson Foods OTR truck drivers started out as OTR truck drivers fresh out of company approved truck driving schools and have stayed with Tyson Foods ever since.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Look what happened to the Emerson Electric and Broyhill Furniture drivers . How many private fleet trailers do you see being pulled by Schneider and JB Hunt ? I expect tractors owned by private fleets to disappear as employee benefit costs rise

    Every Tyson load I picked up you didn't have an opportunity to enter the trailer as it was sealed the moment it left the dock. The only exception I know of was Shelbyville, TN and you really didn't need a load lock. If you did it was at the back of a trailer.

    the first time I picked up a pre loaded trailer at Tyson in Monett Mo I opened the trailer doors and jumped into the trailer to put 2 load locks on the load. within a few seconds I became light headed and had to stumble out of the trailer. whatever kind of gas that they put in those loaded trailers could be deadly. I never made that mistake again.

    Their is no gas in our trailers.... Any reason why kllm pulls our trailers cuz we don't got enough otr drivers to pull our loads. I've never had a problem with any type of gasses.. maybe its the cold air or your out of shape....
