Driver reviews
This Tyson is always cool to stop at. The dude in the receiving door seems to always be in a good mood. The unloading process is super fast. If they can't unload me quickly I have the option to Drop and Hook. They also have a convenient Washout for drivers that are picking up and delivering.
JTKN - not always a drop and hook for pick up, do not trust that information. Live unload for receiving. If you are loading here, might, MIGHT, be able to get loaded early if you check in early.<br><br>I had a delivery and a pick up here. I went to the main gate and was told to go to the pork belly receiving dock and back into door 15. So here I sit with my seal broken and my doors open and no one around to unload the trailer. No one answers the phone and no one answers the bell.<br><br>Update: after during there for awhile, I called my DM. Another thirty minutes later some dude knocks on my door for my bills. Unloading was fast but the disappearing act was pretty messed up. I wasted almost an hour just waiting on a live person.<br><br>No loaded trailer for my pick up. Checked in the next morning at 0440 for a 2330 appt. First come first serve. To my knowledge there are no washout facilities in the area. A few gallons of water, some paper towels and a leaf blower worked out fine for me. I left the trailer on overnight so it wouldn't develop a smell in the heat. They told me that they have a wash bay that I will be directed to if it's not up to their standards. 🤞<br><br>Only 3 stars because of having to chase down the unloaders and because we do have an empty on the gravel lot.... they should have loaded it.
Definetely 5 stars.<br>Receiving starts at 5am. Overnight parking. Fast unloading<br>Very nice people at receving office.<br>No restroom but 2 truckstops in walking distance.<br>First Tyson Foods facility i wrote more than 1 star review. :)
