Great jobs in Texas

Some of those towns have trucking company's in them or nearby. There is a rail yard in Seagraves (a few miles from Seminole) that has hundreds of trucks every day. We even have a driver that lives near it. It seems any good size town out here in "the basin" has at least one crude hauling outfit.

come work for thomas!

 

Sunoco was hiring out of Beaumont too which is halfway between Louisiana and Houston.

Finally got the word on this, you are right they sold the terminal to Nabors. From what I understand it was an upstream downstream issue with the new Phillips/Conoco split. Anyhow, yeah they kept our drivers and our trucks and trailers which kind of sucks because we sent all of the brand new trucks we just got down there. The rest of our new trucks are having all the security electronics and e-logs installed up in Ohio.

 

is the Sunoco hiring still ongoing?

any talk of Plains Marketing hiring from their Silsbee, Tx yard?

 

vegaspainter glad to see your still around perhaps been very busy counting your money LOL.Guess you must be happy with Thomas.Hows the cost of housing [renting wise] availability.I have been thinking about flying into Corpus Christie and see what i come up with.You do know they get HURRICANES you ain't in Vegas anymore

 

Not sure how I missed that thread. Thanks vegas. I'm looking at a possible local opportunity before I head back down. I'll use you as a referral when I apply if that's ok.

 

I work for Sunoco, and yes they are still hiring, They are dying for drivers around Bay City. Also a hot spot for trucks needing drivers is San angelo, garden city, and robert lee. Get on the phone and get busy

 

I would like to thank everyone for their assistance and insight via PMs. I didn't have enough posts to respond through private message yet.

 

So I had a great interview yesterday. Near the end of the interview, the boss man told me he was in need of a kill truck operator, and if I agreed to that position he would automatically bump my hourly by $1.50 once my training was completed. Evidently none of his experienced vac truck drivers want the position. Now I'm hear to make money so I was definitely interested, but I couldn't help wondering why his current experienced drivers didn't want the position


Is there anybody out there who knows what it's like to drive a kill truck and can enlighten me ?

 

Ben there is a lot of sitting and waiting with kill trucks. You'll basically get to your job about six or seven every morning. It will take you a few minutes to put all your irons together and then sit and wait on the crew. You may only pump down hole once per day and that will take less than an hour. When the crew is done for the day you put you irons and hoses up and go home.
The other drivers probably don't want it because it limits the amount of hours you can get as well as being alot more responsibilty and sometimes a little more work. I would say go for it though because you'll learn more in a few weeks ofdoing that than you will hauling water for a year.
