    I bumped into a driver that stated he was working out of the corpus Christi area. Does anyone know if this is so? If so, where do they park? I was told they only do propane. Is this a good company to work for? Thank you in advance for information.

    They're the transport division of Amerigas, so I assume propane is all they haul. I've loaded next to them at Origin and Armstrong and have never heard any of their drivers complain. I don't think they have a yard here. Maybe they park across from Woody's or at that other lot further up Leopard St.?

    You could be right about where they park. The gentleman mentioned that he was a local driver (Corpus Christi). I'm taking that they just park their trucks here. Do you know, by chance, if they are hiring? If so, where would one go to apply?

    I have no idea if they're hiring or where you would go to apply since their website appears to be offline. Maybe try their Facebook, LinkedIn, Indeed, or Glassdoor.

    They are always hiring, the company has been for sale for a while. Was a decent career years ago. But several key people have left. Both drivers and office personnel. If your looking for home every day, couple or few days, and weekly. Its ok to get on there. If your looking to make good money, then keep looking.

    PTI primarily hauls propane. But they haul butane during blending season. And they haul Hot asphalt in the summer months in a few regions. The company doesn't have mechanics or there own terminals/shops. Sometimes they park there trucks at Amerigas yards if the managers let's them. Outside of that they pay to park there trucks at gated secure areas. Out of Corpus the driver delivers from eagle pass to Victoria and everything south of there. Company trucks have driver facing cameras. But if you work for an O/O. There trucks tend to not have any.

    If there are any drivers left that was around before the heritage propane buyout. They will all say PTI/Amerigas was a much better place. But since the heritage buyout it has been going down hill. Once the former VP stepped down. Then later passed from cancer. Its like there was so many changes brought in quickly. And several people quit, got fired over simple B/S, Or retired. And when UGI completely took over. Whew that's when everyone was saying the company was going to hell in a hand basket.

    So the choice is yours driver. PTI is a decent place to gain experience in LPG hauling with the different products. But its not a place to be looking for a long term career.

    This is great information. Thank you so much for the response. I went to their website and seems to be down. Unless, I was at the wrong website. How does one go about applying there?
