    I saw this logo on the back of Tyson reefer being pulled by KLLM
    Well if the freight paid good there wouldn't be too much of it, plain and simple.

    Well. Give Tyson credit for trying to support and expand their private fleet during good times, as opposed to throwing a bunch of loads out to brokers.

    you grow alot of chickens when you pump them full of steroids, hard to keep up with the demand of garbage products, but dont worry they feed you like family lol

    FWIW, my cousin has 6 chicken houses and grows chickens for Tyson. All he does is feed them. Not once are they ever injected with or supplied any type of "substances". When the truck shows up to take them away, a crew of "catchers" come to put them all in cages and they go straight to the processing plant.

    FWIW, the companies can’t supply antibiotics unless they are sick but they can be bought on the “side” to enhance growth. It’s kinda like “cheating” a log book. Not all do it. Not saying they all do it but it does go on. Believe it or. No skin off my back. Just stating the truth.
    I should say that the feed does have some medicine of some sort (I forgot the name) in it but that’s not what I’m talking about.
     
    brank and Dan.S Thank this.
