My Thoughts, Reasons, and Restrictions

    I have found that many ads in the state and National papers do not provide enough information to determine the ability of a transfer.  Some needed information must be left out so that the ad will be published.  This leaves the carrier that is looking for a location with the task of receiving phone calls and e-mails by carriers who do not want that office, but somewhere else.  The lack of a central clearing house for those wishing to move, has left many stuck in difficult situations. 

    Many carriers wish to move closer to elderly family members, or to their grandkids.  Many want to move closer to their leisure time activities, such as snow skiing or beach basting (sunning). 

    I encourage those wishing to move, to give as much info about the office and the surrounding area as possible.  The incoming carrier might want to know about the type of routes, management-carrier relations, relief carrier situation, real estate and school conditions in the area.

    There is not a limitation on the amount of information you give here for transfer requests; but I reserve the right to delete any derogatory comments that do not pertain to the situation.
