We are excited to announce a pay raise – effective 10/9/2026. In this update, we worked to strengthen our already solid cents per mile offering and addressed concerns from our own drivers about wait times on customer deliveries.
The Private Fleetis a competitive advantage for Tyson Foods - we are the Company’s safest, most consistent, and most reliable carrier. Through our equipment, Team Member benefits and compensation - our goal is to provide our drivers the best total offering in the industry. In the past year, our average driver pay was $88,000. Our top 50% averaged $98,000 and nearly 20% of our drivers were on pace to make more than $100k! With this raise, Tyson Foods is investing $5.2 million in our drivers, which equates to a 4% wage increase over last year.
When you join the Tyson team, you have the power of one of the largest food production companies in the Fortune 500 backing your success
