    Maverick is one I have seen mentioned on here quite a bit. There should be a thread on them, just hit the search at the top. Notarps4me drives for them currently.

    I've seen a lot of good feedback on TMC too, not sure if they hire in TX though.

    Be prepared to have your experience not count at most places. Roehl hires on the national fleet out of Dallas. They have the find-a-fleet page on their website that'll show you what they hire in each ZIP.

    If heavy is what you like, you might give ATS (Anderson Trucking Service) a try. Their website says they hire Flatbed/Specialized and Heavy Haul out of Texas. I wanted to go with them, getting into the heavy haul, before I got my other part-time job.
