    I'm thinking about relocating to the Houston,TX area.
    Have 25+ years exp, clean class A CDL with tank, hazmat, doubles.
    Have a TWIC card and 5+years tanker experience.
    Looking for a local job, no overnights, no over the road.
    Don't want any companies that run junk or bald tires please!

    There's a buttload of jobs here. Indeed is a good start. There is also Careerbuilder, too. I posted a resume on the internet and my job called me first. That was nice.

    The usual suspects run continual ads here. Schnider (claims local tank work), JB Hunt, Swift, Arnold, and Stevens has "hiring events" at TX workforce.

    There are also many CDL staffing agencies, too. I used to work in staffing so I was leery, but many of them claim temp to perm. It's the perfect way to get to know your potential employer, without screwing up your DAC by bailing out real quick like.

    You'll have no trouble, just take your time to find a good gig. I did and couldn't be happier! (Local M-F hourly.)

    Good luck! If I can help send a PM.

    There's 2-3 companies just East of Baytown on I-10 with hiring signs for tank drivers out front. I'll get you the phone numbers when I head that way tomorrow.
