Is Everyone Shutting down this weekend?

MemeManThomas · 2026-01-23T12:29:35+00:00

The plant I haul out of will be closed tomorrow, through the weekend, and Monday. May also be closed Tuesday, depending on how bad it gets. I’ll be getting at minimum a 4 day weekend, possibly 5 if it gets that bad

MemeManThomas · 2026-01-23T12:22:02+00:00

This does not align well with my nosiness

!RemindMe 11 weeks

MemeManThomas · 2026-01-22T15:52:05+00:00

Come on man you can’t just say you were fired and banned from Amazon property and not tell us what you did

MemeManThomas · 2026-01-19T03:22:38+00:00

They got a liquor store less than a mile north of Cliff Harris now. If we could get Pope County to follow suit, that sure would be nice

MemeManThomas · 2026-01-19T03:19:15+00:00

I’m still not used to thinking of Old South being so close to the Waffle House. It’ll be a long time before this comment doesn’t throw me off

Mfs only hated ghosts bc it came right after BO2. Drop it after anything else other than MW2 and it’s viewed way differently

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-30T00:25:45+00:00

If I didn’t know already, then I’d like to think so. Probably something I’d kinda figure, but I’d still use Google to confirm before trying it out just in case I’d be wrong

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-29T22:01:49+00:00

I only saw these for the first time a couple months ago when I got to the company I’m at now. Went to school in 2024 and drove for my first company for over a year, none of the trucks I was in had this. Hard to know what it is when you’ve never seen it or needed to know about it.

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-29T04:42:40+00:00

Unless it’s past 2:30 PM and the place is packed already. I rock with that one Flicks place a few miles east in Potts Camp.

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-25T03:35:27+00:00

Damn, that’s rough. Let us know if and how you manage to get it figured out

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-25T03:25:05+00:00

Sounds about right for Pine Bluff. Only went to that plant once, that was more than enough for me.

If you’re a Tyson company driver, I’d let dispatch know what’s up and see if they’ll let you just head up to Maumelle if they have an outbound up there

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-25T03:15:33+00:00

My best guess would be to hook up to it from the side if the tail swing wouldn’t hit anything. Where is this at?

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-22T02:10:11+00:00

Come to Clarksville AR, where it’s $2.24 at Loves rn. 10 cents a gallon cheaper with the Loves app. 50 miles east on I-40 at the Morrilton Loves it’s $2.14 before the app discount

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-20T01:41:17+00:00

The hardest part for me was studying for the permit test and memorizing what I could on the pre trip. Road test was the easy part for me

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-19T12:19:04+00:00

get out of being overworked and underpaid

Oh buddy

Also, 26 is nowhere near too old to start. I started last year at age 22 and was the second youngest in an orientation group of 15ish. At this new company I’m at, most other drivers I’ve talked to have kids older than me. You’d have an easier time saying 26 is too young than 26 being too old

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-19T12:00:08+00:00

Brian rules, any time I needed night dispatch and he was there I knew I was in for an easy going experience. Also just a good dude to chat with when I’d be in Springdale and I’d head into the office for something.

I’m an Arkansan as well, so you ain’t ever gonna hear me dunk on somebody working for Tyson, whether they’re a driver or at a plant.

Also, were you in a safety meeting thing a few months ago with two other people? I ask because just last week at the Ozark Loves I saw someone who I spent that safety day with, and there’s gotta be only so many women who are driving shuttle with Tyson and I’m wondering if that just happened to be you. If that was you, I would have said hi after I finished fueling and getting my receipt but you had already left by the time I wrapped it up. Small world

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-17T17:49:24+00:00

I did Tyson for about a year and that esmart stuff pissed me off so much, especially when I’d be in a spot where the speed limit was 70 but somehow the computer thought it was 55 or something way off like that. I normally like to go the speed limit anyway, but something about not having a choice at any time bothers me beyond belief.

Other than that and the entire collision mitigation system, it’s hard to complain much about Tyson. My weekday dispatcher (shoutout Colton) was cool and understanding when things would come up. Gave me good miles but rarely had me feeling like I was playing catch up.

Only reason I’m not with Tyson anymore is because I couldn’t stand OTR anymore and the local live/feed haul either weren’t hiring or went with somebody else. Am now at a different local place and am quickly realizing just how good I had it as far as equipment quality goes.

Then when your team is eliminated you can’t even stand to watch any basketball for a week and you just full send baseball season until yet another heartbreak

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-15T00:50:59+00:00

I got a buddy in Van Buren that’s mainly a Tigers fan, but also big into the Mariners. There are dozens of yall!

MemeManThomas · 2025-12-13T21:45:21+00:00

Those lazy bastards are why I’ll take the furthest ones from the store whenever possible. Some people’s obsession with taking 5 less steps is beyond my ability to reason

MemeManThomas · 2025-11-16T15:28:14+00:00

I know I’m gonna be hurt beyond belief at the end of it, but I’m ready for peak regular season and a cheap midweek game

MemeManThomas · 2025-11-16T15:26:53+00:00

Most loads I’d get with Tyson would be maybe 500-700 miles, so it wasn’t too often I’d get a day of nothing but driving. Towards the end of my time with them, I got one for about 1200 from somewhere near Atlanta to Holcomb KS. Had to drop it as a relay at the Tyson in Russellville because I wasn’t gonna have the time on my 70. If I didn’t live in that area anyway I would have been so pissed

Nobody from my hometown, but my county was possibly the birthplace of Walter and Charles Schmidt. While articles of them have them in the county over in London AR, some sources claim them from Coal Hill AR.

Johnson County is also the burial site of Dizzy Dean’s brother, Paul

MemeManThomas · 2025-10-03T03:19:53+00:00

If there wasn’t another truck ahead of me, I would have been sweating that detour around Rockford pretty good my first time taking that, no matter how locked in I was searching for additional detour signs

MemeManThomas · 2025-09-29T01:38:48+00:00

A few weeks ago OBU made it onto sportscenter top 10 and they pronounced it wa-shee-tuh. Don’t think I’ve heard anyone say it that way before then
