Keep looking. My last gig in Texas was a small mom and pop outfit. We had two guys hired straight out of school. one of em is still there. We worked 6 on, 6 0ff. Hauling LPG. They would have hired you in a new york minute. Good Luck, youll find something.

I've tried a couple of the local grocery delivery places, LaBatt, Ben E. Keith, etc, but haven't had a call back yet. So far, the best that I've been able to find are with a mega carrier that offered me a dedicated position out of Fort Worth that'll take me to Austin, San Antonio, and Houston, basically out all week with a reset at home on the weekends.
I figure that might be the route to go until I get at least six months experience. I noticed that a LOT of companies that are local here in Houston require 6 months to one year.
Good luck! -
TexasPete I just read your response in the other thread about paid training around Dallas. You said you went to KLLM school so did you just graduate there but aren't going to drive for them?

It was a weird time because my recruiter kept in constant contact with me, each month she would tell me that they were still closed but planned to re-open soon, then around July she told me that they were opening to people that lived in the Metroplex so that they could drive to school (I live in Houston) then she just went silent on me. I ended up getting a grant from the Texas Workforce to attend a school in Houston.
I later found out that my recruiter had quit, and that's why I stopped hearing from her, obviously.
FFE sounded like a pretty good company, honestly. I was slated to haul Linehaul, terminal to terminal, 100% drop and hook. Since then, I've had another kid and not really looking to go OTR.TequilaSunrise Thanks this. -

I had a few local companies make offers during school but I need to finally bite the bullet and get my TWIC and Hazmat. One of them was a company hauling chemical tankers roundtrip back and forth between Houston and Jacksonville. Maybe a "boring" job, but consistent and close to home.GreenPete359 Thanks this. -
Update. No job yet. There's no shortage of drivers, thats obvious. Definitely being passed over due to age/experience.
