    So the Mexican Eastgate Tyson in Fayetteville that's the one on School Road right?

    Because the address they give on the dispatch is 15th and Huntsville Road.

    And then the request directions instructions are directing me to a facility on 15th street but I just looked at Google Earth and there doesn't appear to be anything on 15th Street in that range....

    You are forgetting that you could get a load from Tyson in Houston going to Tyson Tolleson, AZ or even deadhead to the oh so wonderful (sarcasm) Tyson in Center. Maybe even Sanderson Farms in Bryan, TX

    Yeah my verizon data plan doesn't work up there and the phone switches to roaming. I've spent as much as 48 hours up there. I did get some pay for it, but that is the worst place to sit and wait. Sometimes I think it's better to just wait until the end of the pu window to arrive at that Tyson plant. Even then it may not be ready, but at least you're not stuck sitting there waiting for a knock on the side of your sleeper.

    What's great is if you look at the Verizon signal map the official one the entire area down there is covered except for Center Texas... It's such an odd place to not have signal.

    Sprint was just as bad I don't think I've been there with my AT&T yet. The one of them has to work there all the time left is T-Mobile and locals..

    I live 100 miles from Center. Guess where I usually go for my load coming off of home time and guess where I stay for as long as possible. LOL.

    Even then, I've had to wait upwards of 8 hours.

    8 words that mean Tyson live load: we haven't seen y'all here in a while.

    At least I'm in a door immediately my drop dead is 1300 tomorrow..

    We also live close to Center, about 67 miles if memory serves me right. When we are dispatched from home time there, we don’t leave the house until security says my load is ready. I have security’s # written down at the house. Security has actually even called me to tell me when our load was ready. Sometimes it pays to be flirt either in person or over the phone.
