Heading to Big Spring / Midland this week - where are most of the big yards located?

Good luck to you.

 

Midland/Odessa is all industrial. It will be hard not to bump into a company is the oilfield business. I don't work directly in the oilfield business, so I can't direct you to any place in particular.

 

Suncoast Resources in midland will take a driver out of driving school. I believe that their only starting at 15 an hour and after that 17. Its ok for a trainee and get your experience. After that you could go elsewhere

 

For San Angelo, you have a lot of yard on Old Christoval road 378 and S Chadbourne 1223.
You might want to have a look in Big Lake too, yard will be on either side of 67 and then going north on 137

For Midland Odessa most of the outfits got their locations directly on the I20 Frontage,

 

Big Spring has a lot of yards on 87 N of 20. bigspringherald.com has job listings

 

Hey guys, I might be heading out to Texas soon too. I have 6 months OTR experience.... do you think it will be possible to land an 18/hour job or better or am I realistically looking at 15/hour?

Also I will probably be sleeping in my toyota 4runner. Is there any walmarts that allow overnight sleeping in that general area of midland, odessa, big spring and big lake? I remember when I went to Williston North Dakota last year, they had that town on lockdown as far as people sleeping in their cars within city limits, I hate being woken up in the middle of the night by police.

Which towns are ramping up the most? I'm willing to go to places with less infrastructure if it means more and better opportunity.

 

Midland mostly along I-20. The 250 loop west end has a few. Along 158 out of Midland towards Garden City, there are about 8 or 9 with signs up. ( I want to say their are a few past the Texaco ( you'd see it, but I'm not sure...one at least, Thats Rogers but it's almost in Garden City).

Last I went to Odessa, 2 week's ago, I only saw a few signs on I-20, doesn't mean they aren't hiring though.
