    If you want to tank oil I see Dillion, Gold Spur, Martin, Schneider, and a couple smaller guys all running oil tankers around the Victoria, TX area like crazy. Get down here and get yourself a job! If you have 6 months to 1 year driving experience you pretty much can pick who you work for.

    We found a house today which will accept our dogs. It isn't like Williston ND down here but I was told a big Caterpillar plant is coming which will create 700 new jobs and they will put even more pressure on housing. Apartments are going for $500-$800 houses seem to be $1000 or more per month now. Can't wait to see how this all plays out!

    Thanks for the info. I am going to find a company that I can stay out in the truck for 5-6 days. Am paying on one home already, Just have to find a place that can deal with a 6 year gap in driving. Glad you found a place, I was looking 4 years ago at Victoria as I was going to attend school there. There was all kinds of talk about a Nuke power plant going in there and home and rent prices would skyrocket. Were you in Williston? I have talked to a few folks up there, not bad if you can get put up in a camp. Been up 2 days straight so off to hit the rack. Thanks again for the info and good luck with the new job.

    Working in the marcellus right now in pa as a field hand. Have a CDL with all the endorsements and looking for a sand hauling job. Dont have the experience (in employers eyes) to haul crude I think to get a job I am def confinent enough. Been driving for about 2 years now hauled doubles and last I was hauling oversized loads. Looking for a company that runs sleepers so until I find a place I can just sleep in the truck. Going down there to make money not enjoy myself. I looked on Gold Spur website but cant figure out where the apply button is. lol

    Canadian company I believe?? They have a large yard on I-20 EB between Midland/Odessa. All brand new equipment. Nicest trucks in West Texas.

    Same here. Lots of new t-800s. Just wondered if anyone had worked for them. Seemed like nice guy. Hourly pay wasn't great , but he says they pay all hours working or not . About 80=100 week. That would make it OK.

    What is the truck to be used for? Check out Penske and Ryder, they both rent all sizes of trucks.
