    I am scheduled for orientation at Tyson next week. Can you give me any info on the 6 weeks of training with mentor? I heard out for 3 weeks then back for a few days, then out for 3 more. I will be regional in Sedalia but I was told my training would be OTR. Any info regarding the training would be appreciated!

    Congratulations!

    Good carrier. Recession-resistant work.

    I can’t say for sure, as I’ve never been through training. Lol. What you said seems about right. You’ll go out for a bit, then go to Springdale for testing. It’ll go by quickly, and our trainers are top notch.

    if you’re 55 and from Sedalia, there’s odds we’re acquainted. I was born and raised there. My name is on a lot of fancy Peterbilt doors around town, but I own none of them. Lol.

    Then he’s doing it wrong. This fleet is five and two, and 12 to 14 take home.

    Tyson yards are tight af; I dreaded going to them and have quickly dropped empties in aisles before noping away.

    maybe a new one will be better
