Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Working at Amazon!


Just wanted to let everyone know - Bill and I are working at Amazon for the first time for the fall and I will be blogging about it as we see how it goes!  If you would like to follow - here's the link:  bkamericanodyssey.com.   This is not to say EVERY word will be about Amazon - we plan to visit friends and distilleries and the corvette museum and Mammoth Caves and other fun stuff too!

We are really looking forward to your Amazon reports, as we hope to do the same when we launch next August.

Thanks for a great blog.

Mike

Was so excited to see this.  Am planning to go FT in the spring and hope to workkamp at Amazon next fall.  I've listened to several of their webinairs just to get an idea of what is required.  One question - you said that you were able to move from one CG to another.  From what I've read, it sounded like it was hard to get into Heartland.  Did you have a problem getting into that CG?  I see you have cats but do they also allow dogs?

Keep us posted on your experience.

Diane

We are at Heartland also. If you come in September, or even into October, it's not hard to get in here. There are 111 sites and right now there are about 25 or so still open. So people who come in one of the final groups might not be able to get a site if those last sites fill up. They do allow dogs, and there is an area across the street where people walk them.

Bill and Kelly,

We are at Amazon as well in Haslet, Texas.  Tomorrow we finish our first 4 - 10 hour week. So far so good. They only using Camperforce in receiving and ICQA, no picking or stowing.

Everything here is automated so for picking and stowing they are using Kiva robots to bring the racks of bins to the associate who just has to walk up and down a step ladder.

Hope all works out for y'all up there!

Les

Diane - seems Jessica answered all your Q's! Thanks Jessica!

Les - it's is so funny you said that - about using robots - I just said to someone tonight that I was so surprised that stowing and picking are done by people! Seems robots could do a much quicker and efficient job! I said this having no idea that's how they do it in TX! I guess it's good to take advantage of these jobs now - they probably won't last!

Kelly,

Here is a link to what the Kiva robots do:

The entire Haslet plant is set up with them, 4 floors of them. The warehouse is 1.1 million square feet so that is 4.4 million Sq ft of storage!
