    Hello I'm a newly graduated CDL driver and I tried went to Western Express for orientation but didn't like anything about it. I just got pre-hire offer from Tyson Food and they want me to start orientation 09/18/2017. I want to know if anyone heard anything about this company. They seem like a good company and from the looks of it, alot better than Western Express

    One of Tyson's drivers posts on here sometimes; he went there right out of cdl school and makes over $60K per year.

    Thanks for the update and that's really good coming out of school. I tried Western Express and they are full of lies and dreams.

    You should do fine at Tyson. No company is perfect, but some are better than others.

    Lol first of all they told me I would be making .42 starting out as a flat bed driver, then they told me I will get paid for orientation which is a lie. They only pay you once you start load securement training. They feed you crap, and once I got here they wanted me to sign a 1year contract. I ask them for what, the recruiter response was job security. I told them I don't have any background or mvr problems on my report so why would I sign a contract. And on top of that they recruiter threatened me that if I don't sign I have to find a way back home. I advised anyone not to drive for this company, they are very unprofessional and unorganized. Take it from me I just left here.
