    KLLM got the account for their lease drivers to pull. KLLM pockets $1.50/mile for free off it since its their trailers, pays the lease driver $.85/mile so that the driver can eat bread and bologna for the three years of the lease.

    There's a reason why they never allowed company drivers to pull a Tyson trailer.

    i would avoid tyson tbh. i was a tyson driver for a little and they regularly had us waiting 12 hours to be loaded and unloaded. this was as a tyson company driver at tyson plants as a tyson TEAM. if tyson does this with their own trucks think what they will do to you. ill tell you. we got bumped ahead of a kllm that was there for 24hr already.
