Tyson - Rochelle Illinois
Topic 26488 | Page 1
Dang, that's tight! Spread some mortar in the cracks between trailers and you could build a wall. Lol!
Ran across a few Tyson facilities and others with tightly packed drop yards. Those are the ones that you learn new skills!

Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
Nice job! It does not matter how long it takes parked is parked.
They have spotters there? Sometimes a offering up a Hamilton or Jackson is worth it to save some time, especially when up a against the clock.
Rob, I deliver there about once a month. And I'm a lot bigger than you brother... about half the time I'm there at night. Which makes it even more fun...
I should mention the yard jockeys are really nice there. One time there was no way even crawling under the trailer I could crank the dollies. Went and found one of the guys and they came out pulled the trailer out for me

Yikes! Thankfully I was there around 7am so I had plenty of daylight. They're definitely very professional just wish there was more space to maneuver
Been there done that... of course, im in Rochelle now. leaving tomorrow. :(
Rochelle must be the place to be im at bay valley in rochelle now
I actually like Rochelle. Never had a problem finding a place to park. Not a huge selection on what to eat. The petrol is really hit and miss when it comes to food. Sometimes it's really good other times even the salad bar is pathetic. Carl's Junior at the loves... I eat off the rollers instead of going there. The Blue Beacon as a dedicated washout Bay. They have everything I need within a few miles.

Holy crap that place is tight. I bid on the route because I figured I'd get some hours in, 2 stores pickup Tyson 575 miles. Well, I did get my hours in I spent 35 minutes trying to back into my spot because its drop and hook.
I made it back with 15 minutes to spare. An OTR driver came over to talk crap because he got it in on the first shot but he also had an empty space on each side of his assigned pad.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Drop And Hook:
Drop and hook means the driver will drop one trailer and hook to another one.
In order to speed up the pickup and delivery process a driver may be instructed to drop their empty trailer and hook to one that is already loaded, or drop their loaded trailer and hook to one that is already empty. That way the driver will not have to wait for a trailer to be loaded or unloaded.
