Descriptive,nice lol. They're close to where I live so I thought maybe but it seems reefer drivers aren't treated much better than dry van

Hard to find a better company to work for, especially coming out of cdl school. Show up on time, don't hit anything, and you'll do well.

You're told in orientation that, "were not a trucking company". Hauling Tyson product is a small part of Tysons overall business. You're not a truck number to dispatchers. All trucks have APUs and inverters big enough for microwaves/coffee maker. Trucks set at 66mph. You'll rarely, if ever be late getting home for home time. You get a day off for every six out. The benefits, insurance, 401k are the best I've heard about or seen elsewhere. Once you become familiar with Tyson, 2750 miles per week would be an average week. Layover is 100 if you don't move more than 200 miles in an eighteen hour period.
I'm the kind of driver that's never late, manage my HOS efficiently, don't hit stuff, and don't get tickets. In return, Tyson has gone out of its way to make me feel valued and allows me to do my job without feeling like I'm being babysat. If I want the occasional extra day at the house, it's never a problem. If I wanna take a break in a city I've wanted to visit, not a problem. Sick, bad weather... It's you're call. I've never been pressured to do anything that would be considered unsafe. Flat tire - they'll send someone to you rather than hobbling to a shop to save a buck. Light out - not a problem, someone is on the way. 20 miles per day PC time. Fuel at any loves, pilot or flying j, TA, and Petro.
From my vantage point, it's hard to beat Tyson, regardless of experience. Writing this helped remind me how lucky I am. Hope that helps...Last edited: Apr 12, 2016

There may come a time when it will be virtually impossible for an applicant to get an OTR truck driving job with Tyson Foods. From the looks of it, very few, if any, of the OTR truck drivers, will want to leave the company.
God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.! -
