Hi newbbie looking for help

First, I want to say hi to everyone. I really enjoy reading all the info on this site. I know everybody probably gets tired of us new guys asking which company to work for, but... who? I am thinking about schneider, because I hear the least complaints about them. I am not trying to make a killing on money my first year or so, i just don't want to go to a horrible company. I know I will have to pay my dues and I feel ok with that. I am in San Antonio, and I would like to know if anyone knows personally about working out of Texas, with reference to idling over night. It gets boiling hot, and I can imagine trying to sleep inside a truck with nothing but wind blowing in. Any info would help. Also if anyone knows any local truck companies hiring, that would be great. Lot of questions but, this is my new life we are talking about.

 

Thank you. I have done some looking and that is why I like schneider from what I have read. I see their drivers say they are treated well. I will keep digging, thank you.

 

I already have my license, and aked if I would have to sign a contract and they said no. I wanted to try for the tanker position in Houston, but they said you had to have residency there. They have a regional and otr I have applied for and they contact me, but I just want to make sure they are good to work for. But thanks for yalls info. That's why I joined, lots of great responses on here.

 

Plenty of oilfield jobs here, but I just payed for school out of pocket, and I hear that you get a job with your cdl but, your just a rig hand who might drive once a month. I want to drive, not work in the field for 16 hours a day. I do hear with some experience though, you can get those other jobs driving and then make $300 a load, a 2 loads a day. That is what I am striving to do.
