Hirsbach and KLLM both have dedicated fleets pulling Tyson stuff. I lost alot of respect for them when the jumped on the woke band wagon and was one of if not the first trucking outfits to mandate the covid shot.

About private fleets. Hiring can come and go, especially in the current economy. I was at Johnsonville in WI this week and they have a recruiting poster in the shipping/receiving office. Very attractive driving job with lots of perks. I checked out their website which states that the position has been filled. Translation: We are not currently hiring.

Their website is accepting applications for OTR drivers out of Sheboygan Falls, WI (as well as Milwaukee, WI). It does specify 2 years of experience preferred. What catches my attention: "paid on hub miles," which is stated in the job listing. Man, it sounds like a pretty good gig there. 80 hours PTO right from the start. 10 paid holidays/year. Bruce, might be something to get in while the getting is good.

Ryan, I agree that Johnsonville Trucking is an attractive job. They are near where my grandson is attending college, so I would be able to see him more. However, I am very content with the company I’m currently with and don’t want to be a job hopper. I’m looking forward to getting my first year with them next March. Steady as she goes for now.

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.
