    LOL! Tell me about it the carrier im at now i pick up at Tyson Pottsville,AR every week, ( not too bad there usually). But i've spent my fair share of time waitin on beef in Amarillo & Lexington, NE. Also fresh chicken in Waldron,AR. The last two weeks i've had to run backroads out of AR because of being too heavy. OH, well. Looks like a good companie to work for though, does'nt seem like their drivers wait very long. Actually had them quite loadin me once to load a Tyson truck in Waldron so he could get outta there. Would be nice to be on the other side of that, huh?

    Being a Tyson driver I can squash that misconception. We wind up waiting just like everyone else depending on the location... I've spent upto 30hrs waiting for a ld to get ready... It may seem like we come in and go right back out, but that aint always the case... :biggrin_2558:

    If they paid the workers $25 per hour it would cost $100 for a bucket of chicken at KFC!............................................:biggrin_25513:
