    Find an apt before you come or you will be living in a motel like I am. There are plenty of ads for apts but when you call they have nothing until next month. So plan ahead and rent a place before you move.

    Just be careful out you're staying down around Leopard. It can get pretty lively down there at night.

    I am staying in a cheap motel on Leopard St. I haven't seen any trouble in almost three weeks. The kitchenettes run about $ 250 week. The bigger companies really drag their feet on hiring so be prepared to wait.

    If you are looking for an apt just google apts for rent in CC. Several nice complexes will pop up but you will have to get on a waiting list. But if you want to live close to work you will have to wait till you know where you are working before you can do that. Expect to pay at least $750 for a nice one bedroom. The south side of town is the nicer area. The north side is mostly slums.
     
    taz125 Thanks this.

    Arky, do you have a direct phone number to the San Angelo office? I'm live in Colorado and am getting ready to start a CDL school and have some questions I would like to ask that aren't answered on the Sunaco web site. Thanks!

    They won't even touch your ap until you have a cdl plus hazmat/tanker from an accredited school. They all have the same requirement. Must have cdl/hazmat tanker.

    They have plenty of applicants. They will not waste time on somebody who can't work yet.

    I see stacks of filled out applications in every office go to apply.
