    Roger the quickest way to get that information is to stop by your nearest Enterprise, National, or Alamo rental office ( All owned by Enterprise) and ask for the location of the nearest "Remarketing Office." Tell them you are interested in a part time job driving cars which are being sold. The application process is online and you can only submit an application when your area Remarketing Office is hiring as the portal is closed otherwise.

    The local rental offices also hire "Shuttle Drivers" who pick up customers at their home, workplace, auto dealer, and body shop and bring them to the rental office. The also take them back to these same locations.

    My personal preference is driving "sold" cars especially longer distance runs for Remarketing. Others prefer more short runs around town. I tried both and chose the longer runs.

    Good luck and you can pm me for my phone number if you would like to discuss this more.

    I use the money to support my hobbies and donate some to charities.

    You will also like the 401k company contributions and your 50 % discounts (35% for other family members) on car rentals through Enterprise, National, and Alamo.

    Afternoon all:
    What am I doing, must be getting soft in my old age! :oops:
    Got up at 3:30 this morning to go turkey hunting, had a gobbler at about 20yds at 7:10 and didn't shoot it! :facepalm:It was only a small jake, but if walleyes were already open that lucky bird would not have been so lucky. :D See how this goes, I think they're henned up right now and going to be tough to call for awhile, hope the old saying "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" doesn't come back to haunt me!

    You accomplished much more than I did.

    "This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it."

    In your case, I say mission accomplished.

    I am close to 61 and work an office job after being self employed most of my life. I too wonder about retiring and will probably put an app in at Publix grocery store. That's where all the soccer mom's shop. Scary retiring though with all the medical insurance crap the way it is. I like to work and enjoy the challenges

    We have a couple weeks left here. I used to be a real avid turkey hunter and kinda been there done that, although I do like to here them gobble. Disced up strut lanes in my food plots and fire brakes yesterday

    Some friends came up from the valley, one purchased land a few years ago about 30 miles from me. Five of them including two friends of theirs camped out on that property, coming up for fishing opener. I coached them on the FS roads they wanted to take to the Middle Fork of the Feather River. They had no luck, but just wanted the adventure. Did a loop as coming out the other end was shorter time wise then retracing our tracks.
    I needed to plant more things in my garden, but got home about dark to feed the pup. Will plant strawberry plants today that I got in the mail Friday. Back to cutting more firewood Monday maybe if the weather improves some, cool and chance of rain still. Will try to fire up the wood splitter again today to start the task of filling the 8 x 12 wood shed. Takes five rows 6' high. Hope to finish mid June, a little each day or week

    Morning all:

    That's what I like also, hearing them gobble! I had 2 others gobbling out in the field not too far from where I sit, but couldn't entice them to come looking for that hen. Love hearing them gobble, then start calling, and the gobble is getting closer, closer, and there he is! As I was leaving I saw a gobbler out in the field with hens, backtracked back into the woods and exited a different route so I wouldn't disturb them, probably one of the birds that I had heard gobbling earlier.

    I was out a month back or so camping and thought I heard a fox in the morning, than a little later got a better call and realized it was a turkey. Mentioned before I think, last Spring out camping and watched a small raptor trying for some young ones, mom spread her wings and shielded them the best she could successfully.

    I was in the back of my place a few years ago and spooked a hen. She went in the crippled bird move so I was on top of her nest. Way cool and I eased out of there. We had a disease here in SW Georgia and it wiped out the deer and turkeys. They are now starting to come back

    Morning all :wave:. Got back from our place upstate last night. Weather was beautiful on Saturday but rain Friday and a bit on
    Sunday. A lot of folks trout fishing in the creeks in the area. Speaking of turkeys, went into the local gas station/sandwich shop/general store to get my morning coffee at 6:30 and was driving back to our place (dirt road) when I saw a hen cross in front of me. She went down an embankment and walked along the creek in scrub brush till I lost her. Didn't see any others. Have seen a lot of them out of season. Back to the grind today. Driving to Totowa NJ to pick up a car for the dealership. Have a good one all.:woot:
