Drive up there by 67 from san angelo to big lake then up to garden city via 137/33 then 158 to midland

Lots of work between corpus and san Antonio. No reason to come all the way up here. Im sure housing is much cheaper down there. But the frenchman gave good directions

ACME is all O/O and many owners are fleet owners. Pay is up to 29% of the load. I believe they have a terminal in Houston. Get on pulling flatbed if you can. They also run hotshot and pickups.

Sounds like somebody has gold rush fever.

Well, wages and hours are generally higher in Midland/Odessa than Corpus/San Antonio... so those are a couple of big reasons to be in West Texas as opposed to South Texas. It really depends on what the OP wants to do, specifically.
OP-Hit the frontage roads along the 1-20 between Monahans and Big Spring. In all seriousness, with your level of experience you'll probably have at least a half dozen job prospects by the end of the day.
