The number you posted only represent a fraction of Tyson’s business.
Tyson contracts with many other trucking firms to broker loads. Many more loads are moved by contractors than are moved by Tyson company drivers.
My close friend is a contract driver/ owner operator for them.
And to everyone else who thinks Tyson is conspiring by closing plants, that is obscene. My friend calls me every couple of days telling me about what is going on. They simply had workers get sick and they responded.
My friend is contracted through KLB out of Arkansas.
Complain to that trucking site, about the incorrect numbers. I only copied their article.
Regarding Tyson only having “a couple of people get sick”.... why shut down an entire plant, or ‘break the food chain supply’ (per Tyson CEO), over just a few sick employees??
Why aren’t grocery stores and hospitals closing over a few sick employees?
Why just these meat plants?
Perhaps (hopefully) your trucker friend can help answer that. Has he seen a slow down of trucking, overall? Just curious what they’re seeing, out there.
Thanks.
12 PLANTS CLOSED meat contaminated, speaks 40 langues, just not ENGLISH.
It wasn’t just a few workers. some of these plants have had HUNDREDS of workers out sick.
Try operating a business with hundreds of your employees at a single job site out (tested positive) sick.
Good luck!
Hey! Who do you think you are coming in here with reason, common sense and well thought out thoughts! The sky is falling here don’t you know. LOL! s/
