Curious as to those who work & full time.

Thanks Eycom .... That sounds spot on for me minus the independent contractor part, lol (still looking for benefits). I guess it's a matter of just searching to find a company that this lifestyle will work with. I have been searching for months now and just can't seem to find anything and thought I would pose the question and seek some advice.

Thanks again

That's okay.:W Only about 6% of the total working population has had the epiphany... When you work for someone else, they buy you at wholesale (bennies included), sell you at retail and they keep the spread. When you work for yourself, you keep that difference! After all, you earned it and you shouldered the risks. Either way, you have to produce. Neither you nor a company can afford to keep for very long, an employee who doesn't earn out. Wish you the best in your search.:)


Edit: :E Typos sorry bout that.

Oh and almost forgot ... Amazon would be a no go for me because of the temporary position. Gate guarding would not work because I can't sit still.

HK had mentioned Southern Cross and I am really leaning towards that after more research. I see some positive reviews from that company and it appears they are decent to deal with.

Working with a ESOP/NESOP company as an independent contractor, I've been in sales/management for the past 30+ years. Have traveled extensively in the east for the better part of that. Decided to shun motels, reservations, and greasy spoons back in '04 and went with a camper instead. Finally got tired of the extended travel, commuting back to a sticks and bricks. So... 3 years ago went full time. I've also shed my duties in management. Getting too old for the aggravation of keeping up with 7 or 8 salespeople and office meetings. Traveling at my leisure today, I've cut my annual mileage by about 2/3s. I can go to any town to engage in business to business sales and I'm always close to home. I'm not as "gung-ho" as I used to be, you understand, and I could retire next week @ 65. But I enjoy doing what I do and after all the years of experience, it comes relatively easy. I enjoy meeting new people and helping them increase their business. I make a comfortable income and can work on my schedule now. Based on my understanding, it sure beats Amazon...LOL:B

Next time you go to an RV park or commercial campground, check out the site map they give you. There are a couple of national companies that sell advertising and aerial maps, can't think of their names off the top of my head.

HK .... Thanks, have been contemplating Southern Cross and may look into them a little more.

I was hoping for more of a sales type position but I guess I can't be picky if I can travel and make money.

Southern Cross (gas pipeline detection) is one that comes to mind immediately. The benefits part will be the real stickler. I can get full time wages for temporary periods at the sugar beet harvest and Amazon, but no bennies.

I've heard of folks who work for national companies, like Home Depot, and transfer from one store to another.

Per diem nurses and traveling construction workers could also be possibilities but it doesn't sound like either of those is in your bag of tricks.
