no jobs in texas??this sux!!

As a fellow driver from Texas those companies may have implemented a temporary hiring/leasing freeze with the economy being so close to dead.

Just out of curiosity, why didn't you have a few lease contract proposals 'in the works' prior to committing to buying a truck?

I'm not sure whether or not they lease owner-ops from the Lubbock area but it might be worth it to contact Parkway in San Antonio. They generally pull reefers with lots of outbound stuff from Texas going west (with a few trips to the midwest but normally never further east than Illinois) and then they usually bring inbound stuff back to the HEB grocery warehouses located in south Texas (but they drop & hook- no live unloading there).

It seems for now the only steady work is in hauling reefers or anything else normally involved in food chain movement- regardless of the economic conditions people still need to eat.

 

TX doesn't have freight in the best of times.

 

the black hole! easy to get in but HARD to get out LOL

 

You didn't say whether you wanted local regional or OTR s oits hard to say who to call but if you have a decent truck and its road worthy there are allot of freight companys there in texas that are advertising every day for O/O

 

did you try miller

 

Cry me a river! Try living in Florida buddy! We are the true black hole for freight!

 

I've run fl allot. Tx. Is worse. At least fl has seasonal freight.

Miller has an age requirement
