I have just finished my first year and hoping some doors of opportunity have opened. Seems jobs are good and plenty in Houston. Not surprising since it is the tanker Mecca of the world. However the commute is killing me from Austin.
the job market seems tighter here. I'm interested in hauling fuel. Also, I don't think my marriage will last another year if I'm OTR. Suncoast is at the top of my list. They rejected me at six months experience. That was a face to face meeting. Now, the recruiter says there are no positions in Austin. KAG is high on my list as well but was rejected due to lack of fuel hauling experience. That was an on line app. Coastal is lower on the list however I was not impressed with their equipment. I have applied at Mission Petroleum and hoping for an offer.
Any job hunting tips would be much appreciated.
Any Tanker Yankers from Austin TX here?

austin is a tough area to get anything decent out of besides otr. fought that for a while as well. just to the south in san antonio you could pull just bout anything you want. east of austin in elgin, there is an ACME brick plant that tends to hire a good number of drivers for their day cabs but thats about all i ever saw on a regular basis.

Thanks Dr. I recieved a call back from Dupre and they are processing my app so hoping to get on board. Suncoast, my first choice isn't hiring. As far as micro management, well that can be a downer. Schneider allows quite a bit of freedom. Just get there on time and you rarely hear from the office. The pay is low considering the hours though. Also, every time my wheels stop rolling, so does my pay which I'd like to go hourly and get paid for ALL my time.seems like O/O may be the way to go in the long run considering the turn over rate in these companies.
