    Heard it's real hit or miss at that place. Likeost places I reckon. You got some drivers doing well and others just getting by. I got a decision to make myself. I got offered make myself. Regional JB on Monday morning or Driving for Aldi locally. Definitely leaning towards Aldi as they're offering $28 an hour and home daily.

    JB runs the account for Georgia Pacific in Crossett, AR ( about an hour from my house). Looked at them hard, cause they offered home weekends. Woodfield outbid em on pay, lanes, and equipment, so I settled on Woodfield

    If you’re in NWA, Tyson offers pretty much everything you want. Anything from home daily to stay out forever. I’m home every weekend and a night or two during the week. I run mostly interstate routes between Olathe and Littlle Rock, with some occasional Oklahoma thrown in. I’m beating your salary requirements, too.

    How are they about allowing ESA animals? The Tyson recruiter told me they "don't allow pets" and I'd have to apply before finding out whether my request for my dog would be approved.

    Im not sure on that one. Best move is to apply like they said. Best of luck no matter where you go!

    Just thoughts… That Woodfield sounds like the one to me.
    Stay away from big companies with administrators who ruin your job. They’re only interested in making themselves look good. They don’t / can’t worry about reality and the company overall.
    I work at a company I’m finally happy with. They try. Always trying. Yes it gets goofy and we have problems. But my company is always trying.
    From what I’ve read. Woodfield sounds like this. That’s where I’d be happy at.

    But Tyson requires their people to get the jab.

    Thank God for that. I avoid companies where most people aren't vaccinated. Reckless and thoughtless.

    How determine that? Do you do an entry poll at the drivers lounge? I tend to only work for companies how stay out of my personal health issues.
