Honestly, if it was just training, you should’ve probably stuck it out and once the training was over, you would be in the truck by yourself I would assume.
With that being said, I worked heavy highway construction for 12 years. I was making a lot of money, but I hated the people that I worked with . I’m talking tobacco, chewing missing teeth backward hillbilly redneck, upstate New York white people . I would literally just turn my brain atoff work. Keep my headphones in and mind my business. One of the only reasons I liked the job was it was eight months a year and during layoff we would get full unemployment plus supplemental income from the job while you were laid off. All kind of fringe benefits etc . I did like the work, but the people were hard to deal with.
Last winter for whatever reason, I decided to get a job because I was bored and I always just sit around and gain weight and smoke my brains out during layoff. I got a job driving a tractor trailer and delivering milk to Walmart and other grocery stores. Once I got done with training and realized I was by myself every single day with nobody to deal with I couldn’t go to my construction job. Now I gotta work 12 months a year vs 8 with less benefits but my peace of mind has went up10x . I don’t know if in the future I’ll regret it but as of right now, I couldn’t be happier to not be around those white people anymore. It’s been 17 months since I left.

Cacs make me physically sick too.
I’m good on normal though
