    Yeah they moved from next to the storage place to out on 190 just before you go right on Ave D. The new signage is Motor Jones Express and I've seen them advertise for O/O's and drivers. I don't know if this is a complete company change but you may know more about it, then I do. Those trailers your talking about, I have not seen them since the move.

    Jones Motor group (Jones Express) is completely different from Sam Kholi Transport. Originally, around '07, Kholi bought Tom Thompson trucking there in Copperas Cove, who had a deal with Jones using Jones trailers. So immediately, Kholi ruffled some feathers with the Jones higher ups and got booted. Jones corporation came in and took over their own operation. I wasn't sure if Kholi still had an office there, but he is operating still. In fact, I saw one of his trucks pulling a Wal-Mart trailer the other day as well as his shop/yard in Fontana.

    Texas is a pretty good place to live if you want to be a trucker. Should have plenty of options. Try checking out this site, I have found it very helpful:

    http://www.newtruckdrivingjobs.com/student_%20driving_%20job.php

    Keep your mind open too. Think outside the box. There are other types of trucking in Texas ie; oil rigging, natural gas, agriculture (cows, horses,pigs,etc...) heavy hauling, tanker etc... You don't just have to haul dry van.

    Good luck to you man and welcome to the forum!
