    Give Tyson Foods out of Springdale Arkansas a call: 1-800-933-6442.

    They have approved company schools that they take students out of. Tyson Foods can give the name of one of their company approved schools closest to you. I believe that Texas, or part of Texas, is in their hiring area.

    Tyson Foods has a reputation of treating their drivers very well, along with receiving excellent pay, benefits, 401(k), and well maintained trucks. Their truck drivers are all company drivers.

    Providing that I am NOT mistaken, Tyson Foods keeps their drivers moving at a constant pace, even with the waiting times at many of their plants and destinations. Their lowest rate per mile, AFTER their initial training and orientation is over is 39 cents a mile with an average of 2600 miles per week.

    39 cents X 2600 miles a week = $1,014.00 aweek
    $1,014.00 a week X 52 weeks = $52,728.00 a year
    $52,728.00 a year divided by 12 months = $4,394.00 a month

    Many drivers working for Tyson Foods will NOT earn this much, Many will EXCEED these amounts, including some of the newer drivers. This is based on previous posts by various truck drivers who currently drive for or have driven for Tyson Foods.

    NOTE:
    Initial training package is $400.00 a week.

    Good luck to you!

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Here is some additional contact information for you IRT Tyson Foods.

    If I could pass the physical and meet all the requirements needed to become an over the road, (OTR), truck driver, along with making it in one of the company approved truck driving schools, I would POSITIVELY try to go to work for Tyson Foods.

    God bless you and your family! God bless the U.S.A.!
