    With those qualifications you should be able to find a job easily even if you have to go back to a lowly residential company or light commercial company.

    Actually, the residentials don't want to hire you because they don't think you will stay, tried that when I on the bench last year.

    George, did you have any luck finding that position on the JLL site?
    I just checked and it is still posted.
    The second mouse gets the cheese!!

    Just downplay your experience a little tell them residential is your hearts desire, tell them you love crawlin around them attics and on those pitched roofs and helpin out granny with a little heat and changing her light bulbs. Tell them will not leave em no matter what as long as the calls keep coming in.

    A-W Mechanical just inside the west 6-10 loop on W. 12th street (around the corner from four Goodman manufacturing/distribution centers). Huge as in a fleet of service vehicles and been around for a long time as in over 20 years.

    Lankford Mechanical. A start up company that does it all from a few, more like four, years ago that I worked with. The owner, Robert Lankford, and I had a failure to see eye to eye and I left but not until after he bought me a truck.

    Dood was with Hunton Trane for well over a decade and finally left to begin his own company and is a serious go getter. His company is doing very well. Class A and B licensed, residential, everything from what I know.

    If you are worth your weight in salt, Lankford would be the way to go IMO. He does not play around with money and pays very well and I'm sure by now he's got insurance for his employees. Smaller company and more personal.

    He not only bought me a good used truck that I got to pick out, but in his first year on his own he upgraded the vans he had, buying new E-350's for his main techs. Heavy duty and expensive and loaded to the gills ( ladder racks and toOls) and again, what they wanted.

    He is extremely smart, very business savy and strict, and he's actually quite a nice guy.
