    I read it in this very thread.. and then I drove by the plant and confirmed the lack of K&B trailers.
    Not sure if they lost ALL Tyson hauling...but it APPEARS they have zero presence in Waterloo any way.

    Looks like they still have a regular gig with Martin Brothers in Cedar Falls yet.

    Like I said they fired me so I am not their biggest fan but I do not wish the any ill will. Those who work there have families to feed and I want them to be well feed.

    Now let me tell you one thing I learned. You can say Blow. You can say Job. But don't put the two words together.

    Sorry to hear you lost your job over something like that, nevertheless that's funny though. Good luck at hirshbach.

    I highly doubt K&B lost their tyson account. Especially considering tyson bailed them out of bankruptcy more than once. As for the waterloo plant, the less you haul out of there the better off you are.

    I would agree to that statement, but throw in every meat packing plant in the country as well.

    They're pretty much all the same from what I remember. So his comment is equivalent (in my mind) to that of when someone says "drivers are the worst in this town/state"....truth is every town/state has the same crappy drivers.
    I didn't mind the Waterloo plant because it meant I was home, or just came from home.
