    Good to know about the availability of jobs i'm looking for. Will check out Texas Workforce. By looking locally, do you mean actually drive to the terminals?

    Yes, I have checked with Crete on a dedicated regional this week. Said the only current availability is out of Lewisville, TX which would still not be the most convenient. In terms of mileage, about how much are you running weekly for regional on that account?
     
    WesternPlains Thanks this.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Will check them out now. How much mileage were you doing per week as company driver? What's the pay like?

    Percentage pay, but they pay round trip rates, 2 years as comany driver iut if memphis terminal was 65-70k. O/o leased to first year 182k gross second 155k grossthen went on job hunt. Know a few company drivers still there, say they’re staying busy
    25% company 64% o/o they even give company drivers after 90 days, a 50k life insurance at no cost for boasso drivers

    Well, that is what i'm trying to do...if only i could find one to hire me....also it's kind of worrying/scary to me about the seniority that i've read on this board...i've been able to stay really busy with my first year at Crete and while i've not made 100k...i've done really well...so I don't want to take a pay cut because of lack of consistent miles due to lack of seniority...but i will still try to get in
     
    Just passing by Thanks this.

    Yes, I"ve applied for that opening at SEFL...driven out to try and meet with the Terminal Managers at the two terminals in Houston but basically got given names and told to call back in March.

    Will try Suez. I have already applied for some positions at Airgas today. Which other ones would you not recommend of the rest?
