    I know a lot of guys run Tyson dedicated or Tyson loads but would like to know how Tyson proper is to drive for! I’m out of the dfw area of Texas. Any other private fleets that I should look at?

    You deliver chicken in a slow plastic truck so the better question is why do you want to go there

    well I’ve heard they pay well, their benefits are very good and their equipment is good to very good. Maybe be heard wrong? Was told Tyson proper was mostly drop and hook loads

    Tyson runs out of my area and I almost went to work there. The drivers I talked to were pretty satisfied there. Always drop & hook here and most of the time at consignee. The only reason I didn't go there was that the local, home every night job I was interested in had just been filled.

    what was it that attracted you to them besides it being a local home every day job?

    I think they’d be a good company to work for. I’ve talked to drivers that worked for them and they all seemed happy. I knew an owner operator that hauled live chickens for them occasionally out of the Pine Bluff AR plant and he was really happy lol. He wanted to do it full time but they didn’t need him that often.

    the only hang up for me is how much I can make and my preference is not night driving. More concerned about pay. It would be OTR for me out of Fort Worth

    There's a driver on YouTube Ralphstrucking that drives for them the past 4 or 5 years now. Probably not going to be a good fit for you if you're unwilling to work nights. Lots of live unloads to grocery DC's.

    I’m willing to work some nights but my preference is not to. Didn’t know how accommodating the dispatchers are within reason of course

    This is universal at any trucking company. They're (dispatchers) just trying to cover the loads. Rollers who grab the bills and go, make money. Fussy, picky drivers don't.
