    apply in person at: 4632 Daniel Drive – Robstown, TX 78380 seriously ijust got the scoop today they are looking to hire 16 more drivers! The starting pay is $17 an hour get your ### down there and apply youll be hired on the spot.
    I do actually get some nap time here and there you really have to because of the long hours. We take turns watching to see when they shut off cause thats the time when we refuel.We only fuel 2-3 times a shift which takes from 30-60 minutes. Its really a great job with a lot of hours(which i know you like) you get easily 80+ hours a week are you thinking about it? You could probably start tomorrow lol!

    If I remember right you did your hazmat in Vegas and had it when you hit TX (being given 90 days for transfer)?

    I have already iniated application online knowing I will have to go to Robstown anyway. Problem is, BG check is still in the works for the hazmat endorsement. No problem...only the wait.

    I used to haul loads of propane into Juarez Mexico on a daily basis. Back then the scariest thing I ran into was the Mexican DOT. Right now I'd be safer driving through Tikrit.
