    Looking to jump ship to another company. I have 6 months of experience pulling reefer, however I have my tanker, and doubles endorsement. I passed my hazmat but I still need to get fingerprinted. I was making some decent miles with Swift but ever since January I have not been making consistent money. I'm out of the Corpus Christi, Texas area and am looking to get into pulling tankers. Does anybody have any good leads? Thanks in advance.

    Service Transport hires with 6 months xp, you'll make 55k your 1st year getting by the house every couple days. Everything is out/back unless you actually want to run OTR and stay out longer.

    You beat me to it; I also recommend Service Transport since they have a terminal in Corpus Christi.

    I have a friend who worked for them last year out of Corpus, but he moved back to Montana when he split with his wife. He liked it, said they treated him pretty well and the work was constant.
     
    Smut and Chinatown Thank this.

    After 24 mos. experience, if you decide you want coast to coast running, look at Trimac Transportation. Many of those drivers doing coast to coast make over $100K.
     
    Smut Thanks this.
