Will This Hurt Tyson Foods Drivers

If not they can file for unemployment.

 

There's been another change ,only 2 will stay.Ray and another driver.KB has given all the drivers a chance to drive for them OTR,regional or dedicated.One driver already has a local job for Magnum.KB went strickly by senority and that's why they kept Ray,He's been with kb like 12 yrs.

 

Also Tyson is interviews the Denison employees for a job at the Lexington,NE plant.They pay 23 cpm to drive there put you up in a shelter place with an air matress,blanket,pillow $50.00 a day for food.They're offering ppl with a family$6000.00 relocation assistance.I doubt many will take this job considering it pays less then what Denison paid.

 

Im at a Tyson plant now in Columbus Juntion, Iowa.
Closing one plant means drivers will have a longer wait time. I have waited over 24 hrs a few times at different spots.

 

I'll bet one of those wait times was at the Tyson in Dakota City at the north lot.I have seen drivers wait up to 3 days for a load.

 

did they get even a nickel for waiting that long ? ... That's why I hate reefer with a passion.

 

I doubt it.Id see them sitting in the north lot then they would bobtail a block to the trkstop and sit some more.Transam and Stevens had their fair share of sitting there.

 

Tell me about it,but that's how it is with meat packing plants.

 

I'm going on 18 hour wait to get unloaded @ Springdale, AR
