    FCC is dry van, Magnum is reefer. Magnum has account with Blue Beacon for trailer washouts anytime they’re needed.

    In NC especially in the Piedmont Triad area i would recommend Magnum over FCC. If you were were closer to SC i’d recommend FCC

    If you’re looking at OTR companies.Why not the ones close to you there really all pretty similar and you would be able to park at the terminal.Like Trinity transport,Mabes epes Southland transport.There all local to your home.Trinity and southland always has a good reputation also Carolina tank in Burlington they pull reefers

    Tyson seems like a good job. I don’t know a lot about them I used to deliver to there feed mills in Monroe and Roaring River NC a lot the employees were happy or at least until Covid happened then Tyson management lost there minds and mandated the vaccine and fired people who refused to get it.There we’re guys I knew at the feed mills who lost their jobs and were some with over 20 years working there.

    Anyway best wishes on your choice.Me personally I always feel it’s best to work for a company that has a local terminal where I can safely park and if work on the truck needs to be done they can do it there

    Yes sir,
    Tyson has a terminal 30 mins from my house.
    I checked out southland transportation, nice people.
    There starting cpm was low
    In my opinion. .53 for 2 years experience.
    For 5 years experience
    .54 cpm

    I couldn’t agree more. Every chicken they have should rot on the docks as far as I’m concerned!
     
    Knucklehead and JonJon78 Thank this.
