Good morning. Was an ironworker/welder for 15 years. Quit in June. I was living life on the road. Hard to keep a healthy schedule. I could of kept doing it, if not for poor management and a*hole forman. Had enough.
Now, I'm able to start anew. It's refreshing. More doors are opening and being able to be home with my family and sleep in my own bed is a blessing. I'm very grateful for all my time at old job. It made me tough and imbued a crazy hard-core work ethic in me.
Good luck to everyone one

So I’ve been doing trucking for about 5 years and to be honest it’s hasn’t been what I’ve expected. It is a local company but it’s like I’m never home still. I wanted to get in plumbing but seems like it’s all about experience when it come to a trade. I’ve applied to apprenticeship programs but that a progress that who knows how long it’s gunna take. I’m about to be 40 and I’m worried that I might not have to opportunity to change and I really not liking trucking anymore.
