Tyson Food Orientation(Just left Western Express)
Hello I'm a newly graduated CDL driver and I tried went to Western Express for orientation but didn't like anything about it.You left during orientation? What could have possibly repulsed you so badly that you didn't even try to go through with the orientation and get in a truck of your own? You just left without even giving it a try?
What happens now if you don't like the way Tyson does their orientation?
Lol first of all they told me I would be making .42 starting out as a flat bed driver, then they told me I will get paid for orientation which is a lie. They only pay you once you start load securement training. They feed you crap, and once I got here they wanted me to sign a 1year contract. I ask them for what, the recruiter response was job security. I told them I don't have any background or mvr problems on my report so why would I sign a contract. And on top of that they recruiter threatened me that if I don't sign I have to find a way back home. I advised anyone not to drive for this company, they are very unprofessional and unorganized.

Hello I'm a newly graduated CDL driver and I tried went to Western Express for orientation but didn't like anything about it. I just got pre-hire offer from Tyson Food and they want me to start orientation 09/18/2017. I want to know if anyone heard anything about this company. They seem like a good company and from the looks of it, alot better than Western Express

Tyson Food Orientation(Just left Western Express)
Well first of all I know I'm new to trucking industry but that doesn't mean I have to go to a company that filled with lies and bs. I have people and family who been driving for over 30 years and I took their advice. And they didn't pay for my bus ticket home I did myself. So to all of you who think you can judge my decision the h** with you. I been in this world long enough to make my own decision. Western Express turn over is terrible. When I was there they had about 20 people coming in for orientation a day. Just because I'm new CDL holder doesn't mean I have to take anything. I know you have to crawl before you walk but I chose to walk away from them. And to the person who stated that I should have sign a contract, why would I commit to a year contract. What if I was working good for several months and decided to go elsewhere, then I'm stuck. I received wisdom and knowledge from family and friends who actually been driving a very long time. Thank You
