    Thank you for your prompt reply Truckerpete1990 - what would you advise in my situation - I just moved from Los Angeles to Rogers AR - i have a CDL for about 5 years now but i have not driving for a company so i have no experience - i was wondering if you knew of a Tyson approved driving school that i can get a refresher course - Im trying avoid a 1 year contract with a large company -Tyson sounds like a great company to work for - Thank you in Advance.
     
    mje Thanks this.

    Hey TruckerPete1990,

    Well, you have been with Tyson what? 4+ months now? What is your overall assessment so far? Avg miles per week? Avg pay per week?
    What do the health insurance benefits cost? I think I read on their website that they have APUs? How much wattage do they have? (meaning, can it handle a refrigerator, microwave, and/or slowcooker?) Is most of your driving at night, day, or is it a 50-50 mix?
     
    mje Thanks this.
