    They mail out the notices usually two months in advance.
    In some cases they have the sheriffs department (depending on the county) tape the notice to your front door.
    Ask me how I know!;)

    60 percent of tyson foods freight is hauled by outside carriers

    klm
    k&b
    hirschbach
    owner ops

    just 2 mention a few outside carriers that run dedicated on the tyson account.

    tyson drivers only haul 40 percent of their own freight. wonder why?

    when i left tyson the load planners were struggling 2 find load assignments.

    u were having to sit and wait on loads a lot.

    I’m doing nothing but sitting and waiting for customer loads. They’re currently doing that k&b thing, where they sit you for 12 to 14 hours after coming off break, then expect you to run all night to make delivery. Repeat.

    My current dispatcher is also completely clueless regarding hos regs.

    most dispatchers don't have a clue, but there are a few that do.

    unfortunately some of the dispatchers like 2 play games and tricks on the drivers.

    your company might b 1.

    all the companies that i have drove 4 have except 4 1.

    most dispatchers are college kids and have no knowledge about trucking or trucking rules.

    there just looking 4 a job.

    tyson dispatchers are responsible for 50 drivers.

    its time to request a new dispatcher that is familiar with the hos.

    if you're going 2 make money, you're going 2 have 2 have a knowledgeable dispatcher about trucking rules and company policies.
    i only had 1 that was the best i've ever seen and tyson promoted him 2 terminal manager,

    he would put in the time on each drivers hos and plan your loads.

    if the dispatcher knows what he's doing he can stack your load assignments with the load planners based on your hos and u want have 2 wait as long 4 load assignments.

    if this doesn't help, it might be time to change companies.

    good luck!
