hi, i have a house in Pahrump (off of Barney and Irene :D ) but i currently live in Los Angeles.

i have a bit of bad news.

do you know someone that lives in Vegas?
because if you tell them you live in Pahrump you're pretty much toast.
(well that's just my opinion)

maybe you know there is a supply store in Pahrump.

there was a company in Pahrump that was hiring last year, they're kinda big for the city, i forgot their name but they are by the 160 off a dirt road, you'll see them in the phone book (they're kinda jerks tho)


in Vegas,
there is ARS, they do residential warranty work, they don't pay that great but sometimes they'll hire anyone who walks through the door. (north side of Vegas)

there was a guy i met who was real cool , he owned a company called Indoor Comfort, he does commercial.

C&L has a branch out there, they do commercial

if you want to work are an egotistical company , there's Dr. Cool

i think there is two companies called Sunrise & Sunset

there's a company called Asaka Air, they claim they pay a lot.





the Review Journal has their want ads posted online.

if they cover the state and need somebody down there it would be a plus for him being near Vegas.Arizonia has 2 Trane offices and they cover the whole state.traveling being an OEM tech is never questioned,they look at it in how much they can cover with your travel.if this guy handled a couple of big control jobs in the hotels new construction/exsisting contracts he would be his own boss feeding the tickets up to Reno.if once in awhile might have to go up to the office and do jobs in that area...that would be a vacation compared to the demanding customers in Vegas.

call the UA Local 525

I have that in mind, but I have to call my BA in NJ and have him make the arrangements. I was told I cant just hook up with an out of area local. I need to put like 2 yrs in with the local here, but pay my dues to 475 in nj. Then after 2 yrs they transfer my book. They want you to become established before they go through the trouble of transferring everything.
