    What's it like running the Tyson dedicated account? What are the vendors you deliver to like?

    I drive for a premier Tyson carrier and every place I've been has been a great experience. When they treat their employees well they treat us well. Guard staff has always been nice. The yard jockeys are nice. Even when I have a live unload I'm in and out. I can't speak for the Tyson dedicated drivers but they've all looked happy to me. We deliver raw meat and combos I imagine the Tyson guys ship the finished product to the Walmarts and grocery distribution centers.

    Oh I thought you meant driving for Tyson. I can't speak for US Xpress despite they don't know how to drive.

    I was asking how the shippers and receivers were and if they were good.

    Typical refrigerated freight. Some places like sysco you will be in a dock for hours other places itl be a 2 hr unload or less. Our live kill plants and distribution centers are hit or miss. Some are usually early or.on time others hurry up and wait.

    Depends on the plant. For the most part they stink. Most that I have been to dont have great driver amenities and they like to load heavy
