Title: * Road trip to deliver parts & job search…. *
Post by: knightfan26917 on August 27, 2014, 09:47:50 PM

Suppose I could file this under “why didn’t I think of this before”, but instead of shipping parts sold, I am planning a road trip to deliver them … & job search, hoping a relocation will spark a more formidable change.

Planned road trip (starting late this or early next week) stops:
Chesterton & Fort Wayne IN
Sioux City IA area
Oklahoma City OK
Fort Worth TX
Cape Girardeau & O’Fallon MO
Nashville & Knoxville TN

Let me know if you’re interested in meeting along the way….


Parts to be delivered are those here:

Also, my pair of CCs are still for sale:

North Dakota is the place to be. Unemployment for skilled workers is in the negative numbers. You can't not find a job there. Williston, Minot and other cites are seeing massive hiring and worker shortages related to oil drilling and fracking  And all of those oilfield workers need places to eat, drink, live, shop, etc. Virtually every business is booming. It's wide open for a lad with a desire to work.  :)

Start of road trip delayed (not sure yet about schedule-timeframe), but so far, stops include:
Chesterton-Fort Wayne IN
Sioux City IA
Oklahoma City OK
(possibly Phoenix AZ)
Fort Worth TX
Cape Girardeau-O’Fallon MO
Jackson-Nashville-Knoxville TN

I’ve had no job since February 2012 & no income since September 2013; looking for customer service, marketing or social media opportunities.  Been trying to use my crafting creativity on my OLD CARS, STRONG HEARTS facebook page (link below) to leverage social media experience.

Cool ... I've been told that would be a good area to go to, but if I'm going to move, it's going to be away from salt, snow & ice. ;)  Still, I'll take a peak at the links!

Road trip canceled.


5 years ago, I was in the midst of my 2009 Route 66 road trip; sharing daily pics (& notes) of that journey on my OLD CARS, STRONG HEARTS facebook page!

That was 1 of many road trips I did 2002-2011 to meet people in person, including some of you.  2 most-recent trips:
