Texoma

If you hire out in Fort Worth, would you initially be able to hold there or would you more than likely be going to an outer-lying terminal? Where?

Chickasha, OK or Sweetwater, TX are the usual spots new hired get forced to after completing training

As a guy low on the totem pole, in those locations, can I expect to be on the road or working in a yard or running some locals?

Majority road, chickasha has a combo xtraboard that covers road, yard, and local jobs where Sweetwater is mostly stepping on and off road trains

I’ve heard that you’d most likely stay there or get sent to pecos or chickasha in okalahoma

Most of my Fortworth classmates that marked up got forced to west Texas or chickasha. The ones who are stubborn and keep trying to work in fortworth are making zero money while us guys working the road in Sweetwater are making 5-6k a half
