Tanker jobs, living in Dallas Texas?

Indeed.com is what I use. My current employer found my resume on Indeed.com and called. I live in Mississippi so can't help with much more. Search the threads in here. I'm sure you will find more info. Good luck!

 

Dallas has far fewer tanker jobs than Houston. So if you are just moving to Texas just because and you have no attachment, pick Houston.

With that said, Dallas is a hard city to get around. The roads aren't designed the best and a lot of it is currently under construction. I lived in Fort Worth the majority of my life and I honestly cannot think of a reason why someone should pick Dallas to live. Dallas to Denton for instance, will actually make you laugh that someone came up with the design for that stretch of highway.

Dallas is hot in the summer and usually mild during the winter. The famous spring storms usually miss Dallas, not always but usually. Housing isn't too terrible. Again, to me it's a pretty crappy city and not one I would wish to live in. But to each his own.

 

A&R Logistics has two facilities in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex and Houston. This is dry bulk non-hazmat.
Dozens of other tanker jobs in that area. Others that live there will give you good advice.
Also, along the Gulf Coast of Texas from Houston to Corpus Christi is loaded with dozens of tanker outfits.

 

As far as jobs, Schwerman and C. C Cobb have terminals near Dallas. Both of those are good companies. Groendyke does as well. There is a Schneider terminal there and you can drive Bulk with them. Trimac has a small yard there that is mainly for owner operators but they hire some company drivers as well.

 

@ethos mentioned Groendyke; I've talked to several of their drivers at chemical plants in Houston area and they all like the company. I've also delivered to some of the same places where Bulkmatic delivers and those drivers were content and making good money.
Anything you want in tankers is in Houston area.

 

You could find work tommorow in Houston with almost any tanker company you can think of. Houston has a ton of chemical. I would highly recommend you move there. Plus, having lived in many cities in my life, I think Houston is the best. Yes, it's extremely hot during the summer but it has a lot of culture, great food and tons of activities.

Again, the list of tanker companies that are not in Houston would be shorter than the the ones that are there. Your wife will also have an easier time finding work. Houston is massive, much bigger than Dallas.

 

Dallas Ft wort has a lot of cold storage whse locations so there is plenty of reefer work. As for tanker the have the typical fuel transport and a few other tanker jobs. But Houston is the tanker mecca in TX. And some of the tanker opportunities you may have heard of are in the oilfields down in west Texas. But either way you ccan make 60k and up on any tanker job. And I'm sure the cost of living would be lower too. Let me know if your headed that way. Because I need you to bring me a lobster roll on they way there! LOL haven't had one since 2010!!!
