[QUOTE="RSection8, post: 2261542, member: 54892"] I hope there's a few people from Arizona in here who can help me out. :) I'm in my mid 30's with a family of 5 and I'm really thinking about transferring to Arizona for work. Preferably in The Phoenix area. Gilbert and Chandler seem like wonderful places to live but would like some information on what it's like to live and work in Arizona as a Delivery Driver. Currently working in the Pacific Northwest in a small town called Yakima the population is about 90,000 and I would like to live somewhere a little bit larger with less crime. It's a beautiful area here but the city itself is full of gang members, poverty, drugs, and the winters can be long and brutal. We make the National top 10 list for crime in a number of categories. The immediate attraction to Arizona is the weather. Peak season is hard enough and I would rather not chain up and hike through snow ever again. A few questions I have. Where are the UPS Depots in the Phoenix area? Would I be on layoff a lot? Can you live comfortably on a Service Providers Salary (my wife doesn't make much) and city suggestions? How brutal are the summer months working in 120 degree heat? As I said before I live in a small town where there isn't much to do in the city. I'm hoping to live close enough to a city with some night life, shopping and family activities. Where I currently live after 7 - 8pm the town is pretty much a dead. Crime and education are also high on my list. I got a million more questions but I'll start with this. Thanks [/QUOTE]
