<p>[QUOTE="Lonestar87, post: 9883464, member: 222162"]No food taxes in TX either, not groceries at least. Hot/prepared food is taxed. OP there’s LOTS of tanker work in TX also. I think Schneider has a tanker school down in Houston. X1heavy is right about the cost of living differences too. I rent a 2 br house in a small town between Houston and Dallas for $350/month plus utilities. Within major city limits that would go up, but still a steal compared to your part of the country. Most importantly do your research on the job/lifestyle plus ANY company you choose to sign with, especially if they’re going to be paying for you to get your CDL, as you’ll probably be stuck with them for a year or responsible to pay back their hyper inflated tuition costs. This forum is a great source of honest information. Good luck with your search![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
