Coming to trucking. First post on this forum. And I'm excited! Airborne!

I think Southeastern Freight Lines has a terminal in San Antonio. They hire new CDL grads and have excellent home time. Coastal Transport has lots of local jobs. Plenty of OTR tanker jobs available also.

 

There's lots for you if hometime is important. Some not the most ideal trucking jobs though, but you will be home often; companies like US Express, Averitt, Sysco.
The big bucks is with tankers and you are in the hiring area for Trimac Transportation; not easy to get on with, but worth the effort. 24 months with them and then move to the "Elite Fleet" and make over $100K per year.
Western Dairy Transport is OK and worth the time to submit an application. They usually want a year experience, but many companies are bending their hiring criteria now for high quality applicants.
Schneider has a dedicated account with Costco.
SOS Liquid Waste Haulers - starting pay $14.00 hr. & home every day.

 

Nice to meet you as well, TexasBoy.

Hazmat tankers are where the big money is. Specifically, crude oil and fuel. Unfortunately, most of these companies require at least a year experience.

Running a vacuum truck could help you get your foot in the door, especially in the oilfield.

 

Looks like they want 1 year experience and currently only a single full time local position open.coastal is about the same with experience only.

Going through companies and looking at their req is def taking up a lot of time doing research, but you have to do it for you and your newborn.. congrats!! I too am in San Antonio and have a few things I'm trying to figure out like Kllm/ffe,Schneider dedicated, and a couple others on the outside of Dallas, for at least a year and get the experience and def be good to get local but for me local is too much hassle lol.

 

Websites aren't up to date; Southeastern has their own CDL training program and Coastal hires new CDL grads.
I tried local and hated it from day one; some love it, but I hated it and only like coast-to-coast.
