They usually let you park at the closest Tyson plant or terminal. With you being in Arkansas, they have many. Rogers, Springdale, I believe Waldron. Home time is as stated above by Razor3.

CPM? How about Detention?

Layover pay: $85.00 based on 24 hour time frame, or positioned less than 200 miles and not reloaded within 24 hours.
Anyone know if they will let you park the truck at the Batesville, AR plant? That would save me about an hour + driving for home time.6 Speed Thanks this. -
Razor3 Thanks this.

That's right. 1 day off for every 6 days on. They generally count any day that you work part of, like the day you come out and the day you go home..those count as work days. Going home every other weekend is not uncommon. They're good about getting you home when requested, just make the request when you come out or ASAP. Occasionally, of course, there are unforeseen events that can cause you to go home late.
I do see many trucks that park at plants for home time. Probably depends on circumstances. You just can't take truck home.
Besides Springdale, AR and New Holland, PA there are also terminals in Wilkesboro, NC and Center, TX.Razor3 Thanks this. -
I'm not aware of any Tyson facility in Batesville, AR.

But honestly I don't plan on taking much home time during my first year or two anyway so o no big deal. I'm in one of those places in life that it would be advantageous to just go live the lifestyle to the fullest while I'm single and I can. -
TruckerPete........ I saw in another thread that you were looking for a General HP40W awhile back. Did you ever get that radio? I know it will put out quite a bit of power depending on who tunes it.
-Will Tyson let you hook it up straight to the battery?
I have a radio as well that would be better if hooked straight to the battery. Didn't know how lenient Tyson was on things of this nature. -
