    I pull their loads 80% of the time, but I work for a different company. I can't tell you how good they are to their drivers or how well they pay. Good luck brother

    A basic search here on "Tyson Foods" yields a few results. Not a lot of current activity. Probably not a bad fit for some.

    I can tell you I've spent a lot of time at their stinking facilities waiting for loads, with a different carrier of course. I use the term "stinking" literally.

    Get used to smelling chicken #### and walking through blood and flies getting in your truck when you open the door to get out during the summer. I think I've been to every Tyson plant in the country. Though Sanderson Farms and Koch Foods are more nasty.

    Just talked with a driver last night. .41 to start regardless of experience, top out at .49 in a few years. Lots of miles. He said they don't deliver to stores, on distribution centers or warehouses. Excellent Bennie's. No pension, but they have 401k. He had been there 8 years and was happy. He had a uniform and was very clean cut.

    It's amazing that they aren't required to keep their facility clean as part of the food safety act !!!

    I always wondered how would that cattle or pigs know, once they arrive to a butcher site, that they are about be slaughtered...Well, I went to Tyson Meat Processing Plant last week and smelled intense scent of blood. HA! No more mystery here!
    The blood and fresh meat smell remained in my nostrils for the rest of the day!!!!!
