Who we are
Heine Propane has kept North Texas running since 2000. We're locally owned and operated, three generations in, and the people answering the phone, driving the trucks and setting the tanks are a team who live in the same five counties as the 7,000 homes and businesses we serve. Our customers rate us 4.9 stars on Google, and about one review in three is a story about a truck that showed up in an ice storm, on Thanksgiving, or at 10:30 at night. That truck is this job.
What we believe
Our mission is short: we keep North Texas running, and we answer for it. That means three things we expect of everyone here, including the person reading this:
- We show up. Answer the call, arrive when it counts, and do exactly what you said.
- We stay. Treat every customer, teammate and neighbor like someone you'll know for twenty years. Because you will.
- We make it better. Never be satisfied with how it's done now. Ask how it could be better, then make it better.
The job
You drive a bobtail out of our Granbury plant and fill the tanks that heat houses, run kitchens and keep crews working across Hood, Parker, Johnson, Tarrant and Somervell counties. On an ordinary day that is 20 to 30 stops, a route that makes sense, and customers who know your name. On a cold day it is more stops than daylight, a monitor alert that moves to the top of the sheet, and an out-of-gas at a house with a newborn that you take first, full stop. Specifically:
- Run a safe, complete route: pre-trip the truck, fill to a proper 80%, check the fixed liquid level gauge, and position the truck like you might have to leave in a hurry.
- Handle out-of-gas calls the right way: fill, leak-check, relight or shut off every appliance, and write it up.
- Refuse the delivery that isn't safe, tell the customer plainly why, and call the office before they do.
- Take your turn on the after-hours and weekend call rotation, heaviest from November through February. It's paid.
- Be here for the winter. November through February is when the tanks run low and the phones run hot, so drivers don't take planned vacation in those months.
- Notice things. The gate that's always locked, the tank that's always empty too soon, the road that costs you 45 minutes a day. Tell us, so it gets fixed.
Who does well here
You've driven something bigger than a pickup and you liked the job. A Class B CDL with HAZMAT and tanker endorsements and a current Texas Railroad Commission LP-gas card are the full kit. If you don't have all of it yet, apply anyway: we pay for the training and the tests, and we'll tell you honestly how long the path is. You must be 21 or older, with a driving record an insurer will accept, and able to pass a DOT drug and alcohol test and a background check. Spanish is a plus. You want to be somewhere for a long time.
Pay, bonuses and schedule
Hourly, based on your license, certifications and experience — we tell you the number on the first phone call, not after three interviews. On-call is paid. Education bonus: HAZMAT and tanker endorsements and the RRC certification are paid for by Heine when you need them. Relocation bonus: if you're moving to take the job, relocation assistance is available for the right hire. Plus a 401(k) with company match once vested, and other benefits — details in the interview. Routes start early, Monday through Friday, with on-call turns and seasonal weekend shifts. Vacation blackout November–February.
To apply
Fill out our application below. It takes 12 to 15 minutes: a few questions about your licenses, some real situations from our routes, and a few things an experienced propane driver knows cold. If you're newer to propane, say so and answer your best. No résumé is required to start, and we read every application and reply by email within a week. You'll hear from us either way.
