McArthur (Mac) Cole started working for the company on July 10, 1990. His first job was a catcher for then WLR Foods, Inc. He then went on to running a loader and became a crew foreman, a job he held for 27 of his 35 years with the company. After that, he went back to operating a loader due to changes in the department structure. During his tenure, he also worked for a year in Live Production, a year doing cage repair and actually has done almost every job in Live Haul. He now is operating a loader and fills in for the supervisor and manager of Live Haul when needed. Mac has achieved Perfect Attendance for over 20 years, which is very commendable!
I asked Mac about the changes since he began working and he said that it is mostly the people, he has seen many people come and go. The equipment is so much better now than when they had to use homemade or used equipment. It definitely makes the work a whole lot easier. Now there are many more regulations in place and lots more documentation that needs to be completed.
