    I am in the hunt for a new job.

    It is very important that the company has a terminal in the same general area where I live (Corpus Christi, tx).

    I am willing to work for a company that has terminals in:

    San Antonio
    Houston,
    Laredo

    or somewhere between those cities.

    My issue is that all of those job hunt sites where you plug in your zip code turn up all the 48 state companies that don't have any terminals nearby.


    Is there a web resource that lists companies and their terminal locations?

    @UturnGirl lives in Corpus Christi and probably knows.
    Do you have endorsements?

    I haven't made the move yet. I've been researching though. Averitt is advertising a local job out of Corpus terminal posted May 1st. Crete, Schneider and a couple others run OTR. Jbhunt has the dreaded family dollar account and a dedicated meat haul. Plus there are a few otr tanker companies. There are a number of oil field jobs advertised but you must live in man camps. That's what I've found so far. I will be watching this thread for good ideas too.

    Dang, son. In that area you can make bank, as long as you have a clean record. That's oil central. You can haul hazmat or chemicals for the oil patch. Use Google Maps, zoom into the area you want to research, then start typing search terms, like "trucking company". Add "hazmat" or "tanker" to the search term. Get creative and different companies will get listed with icons on the map. Start making phone calls, researching web sites, etc.

    You can also check out LTL outfits. Averitt and saia if im not mistaken they share terminal.

    Good luck
