    Has anybody here driven for Gulfmark in South Texas?

    What were your experiences? Best and worst things about hauling crude for this particular company?

    Thanks.

    Hey - I drive for Gulfmark out of Corpus Christi. Been with them for 2 1/2 years and loving every minute of it.
    Best thing is my supervisor and the pay - worst thing is they have Ryder Leasing do their maintenance.

    Have a great day!

    Do you get a loaner while you're getting a PM or do you have to wait 5 hours? I have dealt with Ryder in the past.

    We do slip seating - the PM's are scheduled when the day drivers are off. If your truck goes down during your shift the dispatcher will attempt to find you a truck to drive. Since I've worked there I've only had a few occasions that there wasn't a replacement truck. When that happens I'll take a vacation day.

    What area are you looking at for work?

    I'm not sure if we're hiring here - last time I knew we were full. Have you filled out an application?

    I am looking at a few options in Corpus Christi. Probably Sun Coast or Sunoco.

    I hope the Ryder shop is CC is better than the one in San Antonio. That's not a very high bar to clear.

    BTW, I LOVED Portland when I lived there. We will be moving back after our kids graduate high school. Yes, I know G-P is a great school, but we don't want to uproot our kids.
