    Massachusetts will take it further. Failure to appear for jury duty there will result in the RMV putting a suspension/stop on your license. Plus the judge can put out a bench warrant for your arrest.

    I have my issues with tyson for sure starters only 15$ for detention or was when I left. Question I have what you mean your responsible for the trailer wash outs as in it needs to be washed out to do you mean out-of-pocket expense? Because they have an account with blue beacon. As to recaps that's gotta be new because no one set my schedule aside from the load timelines not all but mostly pickup up at tyson plants and most allowed me to sleep at location as long there was a place out the way of any of the staff traffic.

    They cut fuel card off normally when you leave for hometime and they would shut it off and from what I understood the reason is because people used that card to fill up their personal vehicles. As to who they hire really is irrelevant as long your making a decent paycheck I assure you the pay from tyson foods is far from the bottom of the barrel and as to work your butt off our definitions are different I found it an easy gig. Long hours at the doors it normal for frozen food any refeer driver will tell you this if you want potentially short go dry van but that off set is lower CPM normally and most are short haul. I honestly would go back but the hiring area isn't near me anymore

    broken bow ok and wilkesboro nc has trailer washout stations at the plants and required the driver to wash his own trailer out b4 parking without being compensated by tyson.

    tyson should have a washout station at every plant and not require the driver to perform washout duties without paying the driver.

    there's not a blue beacon on every street corner, sometimes u have to use a mom and pops truck stop and have your trailer washed out and pay for it yourself and seek reimbursement later.

    what about having to sit in line at the blue beacon for 3 or 4 hours waiting your turn for a washout and not being compensated. i asked tyson dispatchers for extra pay for sitting in line they said no.

    my assigned com data card was cut off by dispatch while i was delivering loads without cause while i was trying to get fuel for the truck.

    i would call dispatch and they would cut the card back on so i could fuel their truck.

    i asked for detention pay and tyson said they don't pay detention.

    dot advised that the trucking companies were getting paid for detention by the receivers at the warehouses and the trucking companies elected not to pay the drivers.

    the us supreme court has said that sitting in a dock door is considered work hours and should be paid by the hour according to fair labor act.

    the dispatchers would assign me additiional loads if i had recap hours coming back after midnight and would not let me take a 34 reset.

    In my county, they gave me 2 jury duty appts because I told them that I was otr alot. They set a 3rd and told me that was the last chance. I made it, of course it was a settled lawsuit.

    If you’re out of town on the road how can they prove you received it in the first place?
