CAUTION: prescription meds can show positive on drug screen. Plan before hand about meds you take. I did not know meds I took would show up on drug test. It delays employment for a month due to time frame of proving you are taking meds legally. We spent s lot to get from Texas. It was shocking for me. So plan for this if you apply ask for an early drug screen if you take medications of any kind. You never know? If I had known I could have been prepared early by confirming with my doctor. It was a hurtful experience.
For anyone coming from further south and planning to stay into the early winter, make sure you have a block heater on your gas vehicle engine and if your rig runs diesel, make sure you have winter blend fuel in the tank before it gets cold.
Will there be work through the winter months? December, January, February? Will work for Digi-Key go on into next year? Thanks if anyone has a chance to answer. 🙏
Started at Digi-key in April this year, at first we worked a straight 40 hrs/wk until we were trained and then the overtime op kicked in. As of today we are able to work an extra 28 hrs a week overtime. This isn't always available but for the last few weeks it has been. One note, working that many hours can tax both the body and mind, so really work whats good for you and try to sustain yourself. I will be here till the end of November for sure but winter in these parts is the real deal and I am wanting some more moderate climes. Nice thing is that there has been an opportunity to return after being gone, so maybe next summer too.
@@OutonaLimbwithKym The day shift gets some cafeteria style food, not great. Then the other shifts have some grab and go option, some good but expensive ($7 sandwiches) and salad or frozen store type entrees. I mostly pack my own food but occassionally will eat a sandwich. Lots of vending drinks and snacks too, again pretty expensive.
I'm assuming overtime is time and a half which would be $30 hr when over 40 hrs in the week? Is there doubletime overtime for Sundays, Holidays, or over 48 hrs? Which would be $40 hr
@@davidleigh443 and that's okay. They accept that. I don't have insurance. They have funds at the hospital to assist with that. You have to ask and tell them and they have entire endowments to assist with hospital costs. Squeaky wheel gets the oil
Employment and dwelling will both change when autonomous vehicles predominate. Everything you need, including utilities, delivered cheaply. Many industries with variable workforce needs could benefit.
Sure! Pros: good pay, free lodging, overall really nice co-workers that are happy to help new employees, low stress, free exercise (I get around 8k steps a day), there is a great airport here that can get you to the twin cities for around $80, this town has some good city parks, river runs through town which is good for kayaking or ice fishing in the winter, it’s a small town but there is a Walmart and other useful stores, and there is a pretty big town (about 60k population), Grand Forks, less than an hour away that has every other shopping need covered including a really great health food store and an amazing Indian restaurant that gets me down there about once a week 😂. I think my favorite thing - and the thing that surprised me most- is working in such an inter-generational team; I’ve literally worked with people that are 18 and others that are 80 - and everywhere in between. For me, that brings a really interesting aspect to the little conversations you have with people throughout the day. Cons: Typical Midwest weather: we had several -30 degree windchill days in the winter, and we have already been over 100 this summer. We work around a lot of folks, so the people that I’ve seen struggle have low people skills or simply don’t like being around other people much. The work, for most people, doesn’t feel very meaningful since you are just filling orders. A sense of meaning is important to me in a job, so I learned everything quickly so that I could become a training buddy to help new employees, which adds a sense of meaning since I’m helping others. Of course, pros and cons are very subjective. So what I find a pro , others might find as a con. If you have a specific question, feel free to ask . If I know the answer, I will reply. ✌️
My fiance makes 21 a hour an we can't afford our own place on that since I am not current working due to having a baby but if he got that a free housing we would be good housing is ridiculously over priced in Maryland
I drove truck for potato harvest for fourteen years (RDO). One year I went over and drove for sugar beets for one week. I couldn't believe how much easier and low-stress it was compared to potatoes. Twelve hour shifts that were actually twelve hours. Not like potatoes where it could run on into the night so you get there at 6 a.m. leave at midnight, then have to be back again at 6 a.m. It was exhausting. Beets was like taking a vacation for me, and I had a concussion and partially collapsed lung at the time (from potato harvest-My truck fell in a sink hole, lol). Beets definitely paid better, too.
Thx for ur info.🙏🏻Hope ur health is much better now. 💪Thank you for all ur hard work too..We LUV our taters! 😍💞👏🏻🤯🍀Guess the power's that be figured if u wouldn't give ur body a break they'd make u..🦧So they had the earth snack on ur truck🤣😱🤣
Such a great opportunity. This channel is a Godsend for so many people. Even if you never experience the nomad life you can live it a little thru this channel and I really like some of the information for everyday life ..
The wages just blow my mind. These jobs pay way more than the one that I left a couple months ago! Back in 2016, $20 an hour seamed unreal, especially for entry level.
I really like this series on jobs. I think it’s very helpful for digital nomads, especially. Hope you are able to find digital computer related work from your van type of jobs to feature as well. Keep up the great work!
I will be working my very first Beet Harvest this year in Michigan! I will be checking out the Beet Harvest & Digikey in Minnesota for next year! Great info! Thank you for sharing!! 👍
What a wonderful resource you are Bob. I would love to do this next year. I just spent five years caring for my father who just passed away... I need a change. I used to own a carwash where I put in more than 12 hours a day. Thank you Mr. Wells!!!
Not bad considering they offer housing and overtime. It’s great that these type of employment opportunities exist for a growing community of on the go lifestyles like RV/Van/mobile dwelling! I know a lot of people that really enjoy living in their vans/small RVs. I’ll definitely text the link in the description to them!
Chris seems so helpful and eager to work with others, and you Bob, your the real “Santa Claus” to lots of people in need and willing to work for it. I am not a nomad, but I can appreciate what you do for others. I have been watching for a couple of years--AMAZING
We worked at Sidney Sugars last year, and are going back this year. If you decide to do this...you have to be FLEXIBLE!!! Nothing ever goes to plan. If you can handle that - you'll be just fine.
Great opportunity specially for now with gas prices, A way to sit still and bank money and have a great place to camp. Take the hotel room even and have a shower morning and night. :)
I’m in the Chicago suburbs and I’m thinking wow that’s really good money for a job like this! I’m thankful I have a remote job but once I get on the road and I’m out there for a while I have a feeling my full-time eight hours a day remote office job it’s going to kick my butt. This is something definitely to think about in the future. I love the idea of being able to only work my butt off a few months a year and at giving me enough money to survive on the other months to actually enjoy my life!
This is great! I'm unfortunately looking at being evicted and I don't have any immediate family. Been looking at Oil Field work but I think this would work great for me! I'll apply for both! And cross my fingers thank you so much for the information like subscribed
I have been working for Express at Digikey since last June. The migration keeps getting stalled. Who knows when it will end. Current contract is supposed to end on Dec 31st, but a new open end date contract goes beyond that date. Not much snow here in Thief River Falls but the winter wind chills are brutal ( minus 25 to minus 55 degrees very every day). Overtime: some days it is 1 hour, some days 4 hours. Some days no OT. Best if luck to all those who apply.
Is the Digikey work location in T... River Falls? What's the name of the town? I can't understand the first word she's saying. How far is the Digikey office from there?
@@ArtsyLadyCrafter oh, I've been doing work in receiving while they work the links out. Bigger building can hold a lot of material that is coming in even with "supply chain" issues that the world has been going through.
I am glad I came across your TH-cam channel especially this one about applying for the harvesting job. I think I have found the job that I always love to do is working outside with vegetables. Well, after listening to the end of this video, I went ahead and have applied for it. Hopefully I will hear from the employers soon. I have wanted to travel in my car but don't know where to, so this probably is my chance. Good luck to me and thank you Bob. I already told them that I have heard about this job from TH-cam, but will tell them it is your channel specifically. Cross my fingers for being hired and this will be my first adventure of working out of the state for me.
Beet Harvest then get out before snow. Head to Oregon Amazon for Winter. Same pay(or more) + CG at some locations. Then head to AZ to die for Spring🙂I work Yellowstone Summers. Spring is MY season! Off Jan-May. *home State is OR & I qualify for free State Medical/Dental.
I’m here now and the situation is we are being hired for migration, which is the act of moving parts to the new warehouse but that’s on hold for now. We are picking orders and doing put away, which is basically stocking. Hours has changed to 6:00 P.M. to 2:30 A.M. for this week. Not sure about next week. On the nights we do migration we are told to go back to picking orders and doing put away after migration. It’s not hard work but it is a lot of work. The campgrounds are closing October 12th so I’m not sure what the RV people will do. Covid is still going around all over the warehouse. They constantly move people to different bays to pull tickets so you may end up being in a bay with 3 different people.
@@greenghost6416 you know everything has pros and cons. $20 plus hotel room is amazing; however there's only a small fridge and microwave. No way to cook real meals. Summer =great weather Winter is brutal and I saw -31* snowy windy freezing days. Some people are friendly and welcoming others are resentful and mean. The job is fairly easy but this is a large warehouse (over 1mil sqft) so be prepared to walk a lot. The money is worth it just be prepared to be flexible and remember It's one small part of a larger journey!!
I have watched a few of your videos today and I have some questions for you. 1. When you mention "class" of camper, what does that mean? 2. I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran and I also use the Veteran's Administration for most of my medical needs. If I choose to "hit the road" as I have been tempted to do in the past and have enjoyed every moment of the adventures I have experienced, is there any quick and simple way to stay in touch with my VA medical demands as I move from one state to another? I recently moved from Alabama back to Florida and it was no big deal, but I did have to find a VA facility close to my location and get re-registered back into the Florida system. 3. I have my dog as my constant companion, as I noticed you had a dog also, is there any restrictions to keeping your "companion" with you or any added charges for having the responsibility of living with a pet? I am "anal" about keeping my outdoor environment clean of dog droppings and repurpose as many of those pesky plastic bags which almost everyone uses nowadays to package up one's purchases in any store to accommodate my dog's daily "needs". Thanks for some really helpful videos and for taking time to answer any of my questions on becoming more of a "Nomad" than I have been for most of my life!
Very interesting, thanks! Thinking of leaving Alaska for the winter. The Beet Harvest would be a great first stop before heading further south. I wonder if the hotel is pet friendly as my SUV obv doesn’t meet RV requirements. Edit: nevermind, just saw a comment from Beet Harvest that pets are not allowed in lodging. Digi-Key is pet friendly though.
@@anio1349 I would guess they’re in contract with a commercial hotel as opposed to operating their own facilities due to limited time needed, so it is dependent on the hotel’s terms. Understandable, but doesn’t work for me unfortunately.
Some are, but please make sure your pet doesn’t have separation anxiety. If they do, it’s a misery for everyone else, especially those who sleep during the day.
I am in Colorado and need work immediately and have no home. Please don't feel I am trying to move forward and better my life. I have only a backpack no kids, no pets, just a great smile and attitude.
There is a phone interview and online test. I don't think it's a given that digikey hires just anyone. I am finishing up at Amazon Camperforce in Campbellsville, KY and scheduled for digikey in March.
I read comments from someone who did the beets harvest job, it was cold, long hours, backbreaking labor for older people unless you are very strong and healthy….
Hey Bob, you should do a video on the ND oilfields. There's a lot opportunities to make 100k or more, depending on how much you want to work. I spent 12 years out there. The winters are brutal, but the pay makes up for it. Great opportunity to get ahead in life!
I can see the beet job being good for nomads, but also what about the homeless? If someone could provide transportation and meals, it would be really good for homeless.
👍👍👍 from #spain good luck to all #nomads and good luck with jobs 👍🤞🤞🤞🤞wishing all the best to all and thank you Mr #BobWells so many years now helping people 👍👍👍
Thanks for the info about this opportunity. Definitely a source of additional income for retirees. The pay and accommodations are much better than I thought. Is there that much of a shortage of people willing to work?
There are also or used to be summer fish cannery jobs in Alaska and I believe they provide housing. Not sure how labor intensive the job is for elderly. Just a thought. May be remote areas you have to fly in.
I applied and got a job thanks to this video! It saved my butt, ty! 💕
That’s rad👍😊

Thats a good way to keep people from homelessness!
The free housing or camping is amazing. There are plenty of $18 - $20 jobs here but the $$$ would all be eaten up by housing.

I’m here now and the situation is we are being hired for migration, which is the act of moving parts to the new warehouse but that’s on hold for now. We are picking orders and doing put away, which is basically stocking. Hours has changed to 6:00 P.M. to 2:30 A.M. for this week. Not sure about next week. On the nights we do migration we are told to go back to picking orders and doing put away after migration. It’s not hard work but it is a lot of work. The campgrounds are closing October 12th so I’m not sure what the RV people will do. Covid is still going around all over the warehouse. They constantly move people to different bays to pull tickets so you may end up being in a bay with 3 different people.

There is a phone interview and online test. I don't think it's a given that digikey hires just anyone. I am finishing up at Amazon Camperforce in Campbellsville, KY and scheduled for digikey in March.
I read comments from someone who did the beets harvest job, it was cold, long hours, backbreaking labor for older people unless you are very strong and healthy….
Yes in the book about nomads written by NYC reporter
Hey this is awesome , thank you for the opportunities! I grew up in Billings, MT and I remember the sugar beet factory there.
Hey Bob, you should do a video on the ND oilfields. There's a lot opportunities to make 100k or more, depending on how much you want to work. I spent 12 years out there. The winters are brutal, but the pay makes up for it. Great opportunity to get ahead in life!
Tell us more Mike. Where do we find information?
That beet harvest money is good money. Double time for Sundays? Awesome.
I applied but I didn't passed the assessment test 😞
Great info! These are the kinds of jobs I’m looking for.
What’s the RV requirements. Mines a converted 24’ cargo trailer
Just sooo informative Bob ✨
This was the best yet to watch. Thank you
good job Bob
Thank you for this work opportunity video. I'm sure I can do the digikey work.
Good to hear the details, thank you! 🤗❤️👍🏾💯
I can see the beet job being good for nomads, but also what about the homeless? If someone could provide transportation and meals, it would be really good for homeless.
They pay for transportation?
Blessings all around!
How about Amazon warehouse(s) (or other comparable warehouses)? How does this compare?
Do you have to be vaccinated for either place?
👍👍👍 from #spain good luck to all #nomads and good luck with jobs 👍🤞🤞🤞🤞wishing all the best to all and thank you Mr #BobWells so many years now helping people 👍👍👍
AWESOME AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO!!
Beet harvest sounds like a good gig if a person has the stamina.
Great ideas except, snow country is constant starting October and ending in June. Traveling after the jobs finish could be hazardous.
I need a JOB NOW....
Great info for nomads for sure.
I really like the job options as we may be across the country.
Do you get your own hotel room?
Yes. I am watching this zoom from hotel room at the quality Inn, which 1/2 mile from Digikey.
Great info and a great way to make some cash for a few weeks of work. I will definitely add this to my list for my nomad retirement.
Thanks for this excellent
I LOVE beets, my fav food
That isn't the beets this job does.
This is great info; I live near the Michigan facilities.
Great video and great jobs. Thanks
This is amazing. Thank bob
Thanks for the info about this opportunity. Definitely a source of additional income for retirees. The pay and accommodations are much better than I thought. Is there that much of a shortage of people willing to work?
Camp grounds closing October 12. They want us to get an apartment. Reimbursement for rent.
That’s true. The owner of one campground said he just couldn’t afford to keep his place open this winter due to pipes freezing last year
Sounds good. Do you have to bring your own vehicle? Is housing included or do they take it out of your check?
Housing provided for working at Digikey at no cost to you. If you rent an apartment-Express reimburses you for the base rent only.
I'm interested in this, but I live in a van with two cats. What would the accommodation options be?
Sounds like an amazing opportunity, what if we travel with pets? Are accommodations pet friendly ?
This is what I am wondering! I’m so bummed you didn’t get an answer! Have you found out otherwise?
Beet harvest no ... Digi Key yes pet friendly
Thanks for all of your great info from these 2 experts. Something to really think about
A great opportunity!!!
Thanks for the information
Beats going out on a Deadliest Catch boat 🚤😰
I live in Jacksonville Fl,too far away
What do you got in AZ
There are also or used to be summer fish cannery jobs in Alaska and I believe they provide housing. Not sure how labor intensive the job is for elderly. Just a thought. May be remote areas you have to fly in.
Grew up in Seattle. All the guys hit up cannery’s every Summer & by 16 had Camaros, Firebirds-real cars😁
