    Hey everyone hope all is well, i am getting excited now my new adventure is getting under way. i just want to say thank's to everyone who has helped me get this far. the funny thing is when this all got started several months ago, i had 2 friends who came up with the ideal and one thing lead to another and when it got crunch time they backed out and i said not me i have had enough of this crap. so here we are me and my minnie winnie on our way to secure a decent living for my wife and i. i probably won't post any more till i reach san angelo witch will be sometime late thrusday or friday morning, got about 1400 miles to go.:Oil::biggrin_1square7:

    A few places to check.... fm2105 runs between 277 & 87 on the north side of town...there are some truck yards there.

    Just south of that on the west side of town is Chadbourne St...from the intersection of Chadbourne & 87...go a mile or 2 into town and you'll find a couple more yards.

    Then, there is a yard on Arden road, just west of the loop.

    After that, take a trip out hwy 67 to Barnhart....you'll see a lot. Barnhart is on the way to Big Lake also if you wanted to check out that area (I never went that far, but I know some on this forum are working down there)

    There is some activity south of town on 277 also....down around Christoval.

    No... I did transfer up to OK though. So far, I'm loving the change. I wouldn't discourage anyone from going to TX and/or Sunoco. Texas has a LOT of oil and it seems that the San Angelo area is just getting started. I'm a lot closer to family up here so this is a much better option for me...otherwise, TX would probably win out by a small percentage.

    I admire you for jumping ship from VA. I spent most of my life in TN and recently bought a house in Nevada, 10 minutes from the Las Vegas strip. New challenges make life interesting.
