Just saw this ad on Indeed, and wondered if anyone on here has any experience working for them. The ad doesn’t specify whether or not this is a local or OTR job, how much they pay, but the reviews seem to indicate that they pay fairly well.
I have experience operating a forklift, so that’s no issue. It appears to be a similar job to Sanderson Farms (still waiting to hear from them). According to their website, they’re based in 14 different states, so they’re not a small company.
Edit: It appears that they’re very big on COVID 19 prevention, but I guess I can live with it if it means earning a good living.

If you have never been on a chicken farm then stay away from this. You need to see what this is before doing it. Its a nasty job that works in any weather. Feed hauling is alot easier.
Zonno Thanks this. -
This is going to be hauling live chickens from independent farms to Pilgrims processing facility. Its going to be a local gig. Its going to be day cabs. I dont know if they slip seat but I'm betting they run 24 hrs. Like you, I didn't see a pay listed but whatever it is, I wouldn't do it for twice the pay, but that's just me. Too many other jobs that pay as well without all that goes with the job. But some people have more patience than I. Lots of people hauling chicken, I just aint one of them.

I’ve hauled a bunch from and into pilgrims pride, conagra, tyson, townsands, george’s and butterball.
You got a strong stomach?

Gut wagon wreckZonno and BennysPennys Thank this. -
I can smell the stink right off the picture.....
Bumper, Dennixx and BennysPennys Thank this. -
When those chickens are scheduled to go from the farms to the processors they go. Not matter the weather or road conditions.
BennysPennys Thanks this. -
Thank for the info. I get the bad smell and having to drive in any type of weather (if there’s a hurricane coming through, the chickens must still be delivered). But aside from that, is there any other reason I shouldn’t apply? Is there a lot of hard, physical labor involved?
I know another downside is coming from farms on a dirt road or driveway that may be washed out, but it’s typically coming from the same locations, so you learn the route. -
Upside is not a lot of competition so you'll probably make the cut.
Zonno Thanks this. -
Its nasty. Its hot. Its cold. If they make you load your truck then you have to do that and then drive. If you could go watch for a few minutes then you would know what its like. If you need a job today then its a job but if you are just looking then keep looking. They keep needing help for a reason. Most times the pay doesnt add up. Maybe its increased now idk. I knew guys that retired from it.
