They may not have any positions in Va right now, but I saw a beat-up white pick up truck rolling down the hiway in Va Beach yesterday, with a Southern Cross magnetic sign on the back of it!!

Going to training with SCC on 4/1, up in Norcross. Saw from a thread on the Escapee's forum, that they are still looking for more techs. Anyone interested give them a call. I downloaded an ap from their website and faxed everything to them. They interviewed me over the phone. Here is the site again:

This may be interesting. You print out the app, then send in. Easy. Will they hire teams as in husband and wife?

Yes, DH and I work as a team. You just have to let them know upfront that you both want to work.

So, has SCC or Heath made any adjustments in their vehicle allowances based on the recent, quick increase in fuel costs?

Hey bob,
Thanks for continuing to participate in this thread. Your questions are most welcome.
Southern Cross has not raised the mileage rate as of yet. It is still 64 cents a mile for travel from job location to job location, and $2.30 per hour for the use of your vehicle to work out of.
Just a reminder... this thread is specific to SOUTHERN CROSS CORP information. Asking about info for other companies will likely not get you the information you seek.
There may be other threads on here that can answer your questions about companies other than SCC.
Best regards,

Yes we are getting union pay. NO we ARE NOT getting rich.
The survey we are doing is a little different than a normal one. We have to drive WAY more that usual. With the price of gas being WAY more higher in CA, it takes a pile more money to put gas/diesel in the daily work vehicles. Also, the site rents out here are exorbitant! We had to pay $1036.00 per month when we were down in the peninsula area!(Pacifica)
Almost everything else is at least 10-20% more expensive out here too. (food, staples, etc.)
With Chuck and I both working, we are able to put back a little, but that is ending in a week, as he has to go home to help his mother for a while.
I don't know why anyone in their right mind would want to live in CA on purpose! These people pay through the nose to live here.
The job is supposed to last 2-3 more years, if what I have been told is true. They just expanded the survey regions and are supposed to open up regular survey in all regions. (as opposed to the audit (spot) surveys we are doing now)
SCC has been trying to hire 30-40 people just to work in CA. Some they have hired have family out here so it is working out well for those people.
So far, we have been able to get by on the 64 cents a mile they continue to pay us when we move to each new job location. Our rig gets 10 mpg though. Some of the others with bigger rigs may not be doing as well.
