LOL - I guess he's right. I was too stupid to figure that out!

 

LOL, not at all. I liked the contrast (or compliment?) between the old man's wisdom and experience and the fact that it kicked off with the horrible decision to move to NJ. Malsua can't make me call you stupid

 

 

I'm suggesting you stop putting words in other people's mouths.

 

Keep trying to convince everyone that what you wrote isn't what you mean. Anyone can see through it.

Matt, when you are driving 12 hours in, cursing yourself for all the issues, is it going to be worth the few bucks you could of save either selling the stuff here and traveling light, or better yet, hiring someone to do it for you that has experience doing it?

 

It is even idiotic to think of flying down there, grabbing friends, driving all the way up here, then driving all the way back down. Gas, tolls, and the shit ton of aggravation you will have.

 

Factor in Gas, Tolls, Hotels, Meals, plus any other expenses on the way, then factor in how much time it will run you, and figure out if your time is worth that money?

Yes, that's certainly been evident in my history here, hasn't it? And I've had a mouth on me even worse than yours, haven't I? Not.

 

I don't know what your problem is, but you can go curse people out and be generally unpleasant without me as part of your audience. Have fun!

 

Ignore.

As for the safe...I picked it up myself in a rented truck with a lift gate. It was loaded with a fork lift, and me and a friend were able to unload it with a furniture dolly. It now sits in my garage as I can't find anyone to bring it upstairs. I called every moving company in the book. One guy said to call heavy equipment moving company and expect to pay close to $1000. It is a 660lb safe....just saying.

 

Get some friends together, 660lbs between 4 people is easy, if you want to make it even easier get 2 more for a total of 6. Lighten the load by pulling the door if you like, that will also give you more areas to hold on to. Also moving straps are very helpful.

Again with the feigned ignorance of your words. You have consistently shat upon people for living in NJ. It's not as simple as you make it seem. The fact is, we're more affluent than you donks that live in PA. No, we don't like the gun laws but your repeated and consistent derision isn't unnoticed.

Who invited that guy into this thread. ughhhhh I agree with you Mark, SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPP!!

 

Going to head to the lovely DMV and see if I can swindle a registration out of them.

Thanks for the info TheMan. I had my resume up on there already, but I'm going to call the recruiting office for the Tampa area and at least talk to someone and see if they can work their magic. Also found a job on there to apply to as well.

 

Keep the ideas coming gents, still unsure of what to do.

 

Yea Aerotek's website is one of those that you have to go to everday. They always post new jobs throughout the day and as soon as you apply call the recruiter. His/her contact info will be on the bottom of the vacancy.

Sell your safe to me. One less thing to move

I've been working for Aerotek on and off since 1993, although I am not sure they were called Aerotek back then.

 

In 2003 they were trying really hard to get me to work for somebody. I said I didn't want a job but I would do the work for $85/hour. Their client didn't like that. They kept bugging me for about 2 months but I held fast - no job, but pay what I want and I will do the work. Finally they conceded, sold me to the client for a finders fee, and I've been working for that company as a contractor ever since. Also some of the nicest people I have met.

 

Had a few calls from Aerotek since then but nothing new to add to the workload.

 

Aerotek itself might be a pretty good job. I don't know what their recruiters get paid, but they seem to go to supervisors in under a year and then office managers in under two years. I've always found it interesting how quickly they promote people up the chain.

Well I think I finally decided what I am going to do.

 

I had a DUH moment today when I realized that my quote that I got from Old dominion could be reduced. The inside of a tractor trailer is 8'-6" wide. My bench is only 8ft wide. If I put the bench sideways inside the trailer I can fit all of my stuff within 5 linear ft of the trailer. Only downside is they have a minimum of 6ft that you have to take, so that makes it 1,065 with 4k in insurance. Now the only obstacle is figuring out how to get my stuff delivered to the girlfriends house as she lives on a single lane road and there is no way I can have a 25ft tractor trailer parked on her street over night.

 

I am going to contact her town tomorrow to see if they have any solutions or if I can park it at the park down the street and cart the stuff to my girlfriends house in her truck. It's a little extra work but still worth the cost savings.

 

Then I still have the option of taking the sailboat completely unloaded with the G6.

Don't expect the driver to hang around for you to unload a piece at a time. Aren't you going to need a dock or fork lift to get it off the truck?

Old Dominion drops the truck off and leaves it over night for you to load and the same thing when you get to where your going. It's a do it yourself project.

New one for me. Sounds good!

FWIW, I sold off most of my guns before moving to New Jersey (one was banned by name). Also sold my electronics, guitars, etc... I had to downsize b/c i was moving into an apartment. Plus the whole marriage thing.

 

Fortunately, I took all the money from selling my guns and used it to buy a bunch of new guns. It was a lot of fun, and I ended up with many more (and better) guns. Ditch 4 or 5 pretty good guitars and get one nice one (it's all I really need). Ditch all the old video game consoles, DVDs, etc., and you realize you don't miss any of that stuff. You get the idea.

 

My vote is, liquidate everything and go clean slate.

 

Good luck with it.

Matt, a long time ago I had to register a home-built trailer when I was stock car racing. DMV gave me a title and registration. Not sure if you're in the same "boat" that I was in. (Like the pun).

oh yes I've looked into the home built trailer thing and NJ changed the laws on this greatly. Now you need to show proof of receipts, you need to get the trailer weighed and provide pictures and documentation of how it was put together etc. Then and only then will DMV issue you a title and registration. Except my trailer carries below 2500 pounds so just registration. So I'm not sure that's feasible. I guess too many people were taking stolen trailers ripping the vin numbers off and registering them as home built.

If they even had VIN numbers on them to begin with, most of the trailers I own (about 6) don't have VINs on them or titles.

If you had seen my stock car trailer there would be NO doubt in your mind it was home built!

 

My other two trailers are not. Moved one friend with my 30 footer. Loaded it up, dropped it off in front of his new house for a week.
