I finally have my Class A with tankers and doubles and I'm heading to Texas this weekend. I'm bringing my wife and 5 year old and we're willing to settle wherever the work is. I understand there tends to be lots of activity around Odessa, so I'm thinking that's where we'll start. If any of you have any info on companies willing to hire newbies, I'd really appreciate the info. I have a clean mvr, no criminal history, and solid work history.

My thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

 

Take a look at some of the driving jobs (crude) at Sunoco Logistics for new grads. Some in west TX and also down around the coast.

 

For all y'all with your wives and kids it is important to know that you raise your family in Midland and raise hell in Odessa.

 

Housing is a little fun to find so check into that.

 

Has anybody heard of Vann Energy services out of south Texas. I think their yard is in Nixon.

 

I'm having a devil of a time finding a hotel in Odessa/Midland. Is there something going on next week, or are all the hotels being taken up by oil workers?

 

Try Value Place, they have good weekly rates.

 

I tried them, but they're booked just like all the others. The closest place I can find a room for this Sunday is in Lubbock.
