So recently my wife and I decided to make the move from the crazy housing market we live in (RI/MA) and move to NC. I currently work for AAA Northeast as a Roll back and just wanted to get a feel for the water down there. Oddly enough AAA Northeast and AAA Carolinas don't do transfers so I am kind of left to see what happens when I move down there. Anyone know of or work with AAA in NC that maybe could toss me some info we were looking at the Jacksonville area but depending on jobs that may change.
