I hate Tyson, I HATE Tyson, I HATE TYSON!

Reminds me of a situation several years ago at Cargill # Mt. Crawford, Va. Now mind you, I am retired and at the time I was working part-time for this small company out of Harrisonburg, Va. Well anyway, got a phone call on a Thur. morning, "hey can you go to Oakland, Ia for a 6am delivery Sat. morning"? I asked when was it loading and the reply, "they are waiting on you right now". So, I got myself in gear and got down to Cargill @1pm Thur. afternoon. Now!!!! At 1am Fri. morning, they had not put one pallet on my trailer. I walked into the shipping office and asked, "hey when you going to get me loaded, I got 1200 miles ahead of me and my appointment is 17 hours from right now". Their reply, "well driver that is your problem". They said the wrong thing to this old man.

I told them that I was about to solve my problem. I went out, unhooked from the trailer, called the owner of the company at home # 1:30am and told him that if he wanted this load in Oakland, Ia he better get his butt out of bed, because I was bob-tailing back to the yard and I was going home.

No more dealing with poultry plants for me.

 

That's about par for Tyson.

 

But it's so #### tasty.

 

is their one of those of route 44 by leesburg fl?

I went to a tyson plant in Ind,, and was supposed to be outta there by midnite. it was a kroger run and kroger needed them chickens finally at two am I called Kroger and told them they better put the rush on these people or there chickens were goin to be about ten hours late. told them My 14 hours was about up.. it wasn't but a few minutes and Tyson told me to come hook up to my trailer. Yes these people have no respect for us at all.. good place to stay away from.. ..

 

this reminds me of a load of boxes that i took to a tyson plant just east of vicksburg,ms.I got there about 4 hrs early. It took them jokers 16 hours to unload me.They'll see me no more.

 

Sounds like dealing with the chicken idiots is a lot like dealing with the morons in the produce industry. The worst place by far to get a load of produce is in Immokolee, Florida at a place that most know...SIX L's. I have pulled out of there numerous times and have never checked in and backed into a dock right away to get loaded, even though you call them and they tell you "yea, we're waiting on you! The load's been ready!" I was kicked out of there after repeatedly asking security over the radio, "when the hell is my load going to be ready? I've been sitting here for 12 hours!" I then made a comment to them in regards to their company's name and why it's called 'SIX L's'...it's because every time you ask them why you're load isn't ready they give you 6 different #### lies!

 

If we weren't meant to eat animals, they wouldn't be made of meat.
