So here i am 2200 miles from home with my wife and 17 year old daughter. Came to San Antonio Texas for the warmth and steady work.Was running a sermac pump for a local pump co.trucks were in rough shape.No A/C windows dont open 95 degrees out 130 in cab, lots of break downs with all the fleet,15 dollars an hr (used to get twice that)Met some really nice guys there.Finally tired of fighting truck every job.After dealing with this for three months I gave my notice. he begs me to stay cause im a good operator and the customers like me.Told him i can't do it anymore.sSo I leave. His wife sends me a letter stating that people were complaining about my attitude and that i damaged the headliner in a fit of rage (witch never happened)so they send my check $160. short to cover for the cost of the headliner. I know some of the other guys there check out this site so send me a message.OH COME ON Im so glad to be in TEXAS

Sounds bad. So what now? what was it like runnning a sermac?

Some people are just a**holes and will do anything to make themselves look good. Don't let that company put a bad taste in your mouth about Texas there are a few other good companys in your area.

I sent you a p.m.

iam sure the woman needed the shopping money worse than your wages, wonder why thier trucks look like crap ha ha no money for that. 

I don't see how relocating to Texas was a mistake. I think the mistake you made was which company you chose to work for. I also relocated to the same area and am very happy with my employer and the equipment. Next time you should check everything out thouroughly before making such a big change.

yes I did check things out I guess not as good as I should have Some people are just really good bullshitters. Its not like I cant find another job I just dont like being treated like a piece of crap Im not the only one they did this to either. But thats the chance you take going to another company As for sermac not a bad pump. All there pumps should have been sold for parts.Or maybe they were and thats how they got them.

PINK PANTHER are you in san antonio your profile says azive seen a C&C in S.A

wow some of us never had a/c in the truck,I make the same amount and live where the cost of living is twice that of Texas. we have to be mechanicaly incline to do repairs in the field. wish i had it easy like you

Peterpump your a liar. You worked there maybe 3 weeks and never touched the sermon. Dream on. Your window worked and that's your a/c. Grow up man. No one begged you to stay. And Jo the wife has her own company and has lenty of shopping money. FYI.

There are some good companies in that area. Do a little more research when looking for a job.  If its as bad as you say maybe the one you were working for will go down with the rest of the bad ones.

maybe you didnt come far enough south, im in corpus working 60,70 sometimes 80 hrs a week almost always  6  days a week the pay is not as much as alot of states but the over time an consistant work makes up for it! we are always looking for operators, but be prepared to work on your own truck!
