    I don't see anything rude about my response and your more than welcome to PM the Admin about any MOD's behavior. You asked and I gave you a couple of options. Most of the companies around here that I have seen, usually advertise their trucking jobs on craigslist or in the newspaper.

    Jones Express in Copperas Cove, is another company that comes to mind. They are on the right side of 190 when you come into cove. Another company that's looking for driver's in Temple, VMT, it's flatbed work. I don't know any of the gravel haulers. Most are O/O's but one company that is usually looking for drivers is KnifeRiver. They do quite a bit of county and state work.

    Yeah, I was leased on to Jones Express out of Copperas Cove, all O/O's. However Sam Kholi was somewhat involved with them, and then they departed ways and I believe Sam Kholi still has an office there. He is company drivers, BUT, he is religious. His trailers say "Jesus Christ is Lord, not a swear word" on the side in HUGH letters. If you can deal with that, check them out. He runs 48 with a shop/yard in Fontana.
