    I got hired out of Florida as well as many others. As far as Kmart goes they have been shutting them down as for me I will be moving in a year or two. I am not sure where yet either Tn. or Tx. to someplace where there is no state income taxe and is more active.

    Well I definitely appreciate the information....been wanting to get out of Florida for a long time anyway. It might be a great place for northerners and everyone else to go on vacation, but that is all we have here. Tourism, beaches, commercial fishing and seafood, and that sort of thing. Like my dad used to say before he left, warm weather and sunshine don't pay the bills.

    Hey guess what....I just called the 866 number on their recruiting website and found out that ARE hiring in my area. They said it would be about a month before they would have any availability, whatever that means. That's a lot sooner than it would have been if I had moved to Texas!!!!

    Ok well I went ahead and sent in my application...the recruiter I spoke with told me she would get it processed and told me to call back at 3pm. I really hope it works out.

    Thanks a lot. Look for a young fat white guy wearing faded jeans, brown work boots and a camo freightliner hat. :biggrin_25523:
