the old man from the mountain adventure to wtof begins today

Chalk Mountain is pretty aggressive as of late . They are in Pleasanton. $19/hr.

 

You will find some work out of Pleasanton. If fracking is what you're after, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, and Weatherford all have yards along I37 between south San Antonio and the Elmendorf exit. SA is at the northern extreme of the Eagle Ford shale. Go a little south to Three Rivers/George West or Kenedy and you'll be in the thick of it. A lot of the companies down there have man camps so drivers don't have to commute 1.5 or more hours per day.

 

You will need at least 1 1/2 years experience to be considered by Chalk Mountain. They're going to open a new yard in Atascosa soon so they're growing.

 

We have apps in at Chalk, have been calling them every other day or so but still nothing as of yet. We have been told that they are really busy because they are going to hire a bunch of new guys. Hoping they are on that list. Found some sort of staffing agency for just CDL drivers, going to give them a call in the morning. Thank you for the help! The guys said they are going to go drive 37 tomorrow and see what they can find out at the companies you listed and whatever else they see.

 

Congratulations!

 

congrats on landing the job and keeping us updated. Good luck and hope you enjoy your time in Texas

 

10speed how's the first day of orientation going? I really enjoy all the info you guys are giving on your new adventures it helps me a lot im getting a few personal things done then its on to tX for me come February or March if all goes to plan!

 

I'm 23 years from Southern California, just got laid off 1.5 weeks ago, and have enough money to go to trucking school to my CDL A and tanker/hazmat endorsements. I might just go to Texas because the conditions don't seem AS bad there as it is up in ND. No having to worry about valves or hoses freezing up and exploding on me in Texas lol Most have of my previous jobs have been doing sales and customer service for dealerships and shops (service advisor), so getting into trucking will be quite a change to me. Was debating on just going out and being a roughneck or becoming a trucker and I chose trucker in case I wanted to go into the rail road after I doing some time on the oil fields in TX or ND. I guess the easiest thing for me is that i'm not married and don't have kids, so I can just get up and go to where the work is.
