    Hey I was talking about Munoz trucking
    they have this
    Qualifications
    • Must be a resident of El Paso, Texas
    I thought they specially put that to exclude all surrounding cities
    I'm an Amercian living in Juarez, and I think I'm going to start with a Juarez company Buchanans that is about 20-25 Minutes WALKING from my home, I think there is nothing better in life that living very close to your job, that job is a daily crosser, from what I read on this forum the OTR life sucks big time, sure the pay is good, but there are better things in life than money, like for me living in a city where I can have a girlfriend for everyday of the week, and if I where to get in the OTR field the lott lizzard scene isn't that great from what I read on this forum

    It says that but as long as you can be at the yard within an hour, it's all good.

    Someone living in Chaparral would be closer to the yard than someone living in the upper valley.

    It's perfectly legal and legit. Take a look at all those "magazines" you find in truck stops that contain nothing but company ads - most of them include "hiring maps".
