Just wonderin where I can apply at. Drove all over Alice and Victoria last summer and applied to 15-20 different places but just about everyone was wantin someone with the class A cdl and I ain't old enough for the class A just yet. Would appreciate any kinda help. I went through alota older posts about it and most everything I've looked at has been wantin experienced people.. Wouldn't mind offshore work either. Just somethin to get me outa TDC makin decent money

I would say your best bet would be go to the contractors yard and ask to speak with superintendent or spread man and give him the reason he needs to hire you... When I first started pipelinin I musta filled out 100applications when I wanted to test...No calls ever came. A handshake and a few honest words still seem to work pretty well on the pipeline but works a Lil slow right now so it's gonna be tough to hire out maybe in a month it should double up an it'll be a lot easier to get hired out..
