    First off, hello everyone, I'm fairly new here to the forum. I was wanting some first hand specific information on team-driving for Tyson. For one, if you don't have a team-mate before you go into orientation can you pick somebody from the class or should I wait and find one before hand. I currently don't have any friends or family that have a C.D.L. I live in Dallas and already have some experience with reefer OTR, so I figured I should be able to find someone who's willing to team up at some point. Also I have moved back into my parents after being ill/out of work for a while, I'm not married, and have no kids; so I am perfectly content with a minimum of 500-600 weekly. Will their team pay meet this or exceed it with a willingness to run, thank you.
     
    mje Thanks this.

    I do not run for tyson, but as a team driver pulling dry van, i get home every week and i individually pull about 1100 per week in gross income. Some weeks higher and some lower, but thats my average and i only pull between 4300 and 5000the miles a week.

    I just confirmed they do hire out of Dallas, it's in the hiring area called Zone 1 according to their hiring map on the website, pretty interesting map. Thanks for responding TruckerPete and do you work for Tyson? Looking for as much input as possible of course.

    I see Trucker Pete., that might be around the time I apply for them too likely late march unless I can get over this lingering sinus infection. Might be able to anyway, you never know with the Lord and His timing.
