Truckie - just a guess but are you at FR by chance?
If so then unfortunately your experiences at FR are not necessarily typical. And how someone with a family can exist there when being shoved around the bases on a Brookfield contract is beyond me.
I am fortunate to work in a national carrier. Sure some sectors can be boring but generally work is fun. We go in have a bit of a laugh and joke. Cup of tea on the turn around with the CCMs, give out loads about the company and how they are trying to screw us over continually. At the end of the day we thank each other for all the help and look forward to doing it all again.
