I work for the Columbus Dispatch and we're currently looking for people interested in delivering the morning newspaper.

It's a little different from what you may remember as a kid, so here's a little background.

Delivery is 7 days a week in the early mornings. (must be done by 6am M-F and 8am on weekends)

You must be 18 years or older

Have reliable transportation.

You would be contracted as an independent contractor.

Pay is between $250 and $400 a week.

For more info you can either send me a PM or email me at cmaines@dispatch.com.

Thanks!

I just moved to Dallas myself and have to say getting rid of crap is the best thing for ya. Bring the most important stuff you can think of and take it with you. As far as job markets and what not, if you can stash away a little bit before you leave. Always nice to not have to rush into anything. I spent a month in Dallas before I even moved down. Take a little time to get to know the area, since you are moving halfway across the US, you should somewhat enjoy it. Like Kirk said, bring cash. Out west you'll be stuck in BFE pretty quick.

I say you need to line up a paycheck first.....but that's just me. Not sure what connections you have but Chase has a nice facility out there. A buddy of mine knew some folks here in Cbus that connected his wife up out west. Once she had a job there they moved. He transferred with his company.

 

Job = cash = a lot less anxiety in life.

As for the money, I'll be leaving my current job with 4 full weeks of pay in addition to whatever I save between now and July. But my goal is to definitely have work lined up. I'd love to have a week or so to enjoy/ take everything in.

i documented each of my moving experiences here---good reads

 

columbus to tampa

tampa to wisconsin

http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69995&highlight=move

 

within one year of living in wisconsin (we were renting), we bought a house locally, and moved----again

So you know a few things about moving huh. I'll probably end up moving within the first year or 2 once I'm out there.

What brings you out to Phoenix? I used to live out there for school. Its wayy to hot! You'll eventually hate it and be back here lol. Good luck to you!

My child is out in AZ and rather then just be a pay check to him from Columbus, I decided to go help raise him instead

Send me some pics/info dude.

How cheap? I need a good MPG DD

I'd like to get at least $2,500 out of it. I'll more then likely be letting it go before I move so I'll be sure to post some pics and info.

Sell the GTP at an extremely reasonable price, to me.

I'd let it go for cheap, but I gotta be honest. It needs some love.

i moved from columbus to tampa, and then tampa to wisconsin, within the course of 14 months. some tips from my experience (i did it all myself)

 

use a bigger uhaul then you think you'll need.

 

trash/sell as much as you can before you move

 

don't trailer a car behind the uhaul--just get it shipped cheap $600-700. you'll spend money on the trailer and gas, and its such a pain in the ass to stop for gas, trailer-sway is horrible, etc. etc. trust me on this one, its worth it to get the car(s) shipped

 

take plenty of cash--the last thing you want is to be stuck at a gas station in bumfuck nowhere and have your credit card shut down because of suspicious charges---bring at least $1500 for gas/etc.

 

have someone with you to help drive if possible

 

don't drive through the night--stop when it gets dark

:thumbup::thumbup::cool: Thank you! Great advice!!!

Im in the process of moving to california (90 more days) even tho I lived there before, Ive gone back 3 times to check housing. I know places in california you see online look great in the pictures, and they are dead center in the hood, and look nothing like the pic's. The job thing was haunting me too, I was holding out the move until I had a job lined up. The uhaul should run you around 1200-1500 bucks depending on size, then add fuel and hotels.

Thanks! I'm actually going to be out there in a few weeks. My goal is to get a few places lined up to check out in person. Did you have a hard time finding a place to move? Any good sites to brows?

I’m looking for some helpful tips or maybe some unforeseen problems that may pop up when moving across the country (or state). I’ll be moving to Phoenix AZ in July. I’ve lived in Columbus most of my adult life and have only moved 1 time since moving out of my moms house when I was 17.

I know to rent a U-Haul and pack shit in boxes But what are some things to keep in mind when moving that far? I’m in the process of making some minor home improvements so that I can rent my house in Columbus out. I’m going through all of my old belongings and sorting out the things I want to keep, trash or sell so that I don’t have to haul them all out there.

As unprepared as it may sound (at this point anyway) I don’t have a job lined up (my biggest concern). And I’ve been scouting out houses to rent online. It all seems pretty overwhelming right now just because its such an uncertainty. I’m moving for personal reasons, but the biggest reason is to be closer to my child.

Again, I’ve never done this before and have no clue what to expect. So if CR has any helpful advice that could save me some time, money or a major headache down the road I’d love to hear it. TIA

2:04 "Fun fun, dick in my butt"

Much better

Geeez I could not even imagine watching that huge amount of water coming toward me! Amazing how strong mother nature can be, pushing cars, homes and boats around like nothing.

Mother Nature doesn't give a fuck about your home or property.

In someones future maybe, but that shit looks expensive. Even if it's "current" technology I won't be affording it anytime soon

That is SICK!!!!

We did. I went with about six friends but 2 of them had to bow out about half way up. There were a lot of people and I didn't want to leave them, so we went back down at that point. No summit shots

PUSSY J/K.

Yeah, it's a little bit rougher then I thought climbing up it. I pictured well marked and clear trails straight to the top. There were spots where you literally needed to be on all 4's to climb up. Great pics either way.

Test your water, if everything comes back normal and there aren't any visible signs on the fish (white or black spots, cotton like slime) then just keep it happy. GOURAMI are know to lay down... It's the swimming upright that's kind of odd.

It wouldn't hurt to add a little aquarium salt either. helps soften the water and improve gill function.
