Help, I have nightmares about my new job

[LetsGetCritical]

I got a job towing 'wide items'. the trailer is 39 feet long and the 'wide item' is up to 16 feet wide. On my second day I forgot it was there for one corner and the $50,000 'item' scraped a pole. I haven't hit much since but I keep having bad nightmares. I am scared especially of trucks and their $500 mirrors and poles that jump out at you at any opportunity. help?

Congrats. That's why you make the big bux- don't want the job, go find another that pays well and doesn't give you nightmares?

Smoke more marijuana

I do want the job I like it but i cant stop the nightmares. i'm ok once i'm on the road, actually haven't even hit a curb since that day. I worry when I am not on the road but I guess that fear will ease once I have done a few runs.

I'm sure your confidence will go up with time and you'll have less worries as you get used to it. I mean unless you fuck up majorly sometime soon

thanks, its actually pretty hard to fuck up, but my confidence got shot that second day, and I've never been a nervous driver.

I bet they'll go away as you get further from the incident. Stick it out for a while- if they don't stop though I'd look for a diff job, cause nightmares like that suck

I drove a spray truck for four years. And i was always taking out mirrors. I just never got caught and i lit up as soon as i left the yard in the morning. I dont think the weed made me do it either. So i dont have an answer for you but if i will say i liked taking out mirrors and if i was still there I'd still be doing it.

You're a bad man, Dannyboy.

Ya, I can see how that job would give you nightmares. That's a pretty intense job, probably more intense than I would choose to handle. Happy new year.

haha the boss told me "those truck mirrors are about $500 each, they wont be happy if you take em out". I'll just add that the pole did superficial damage that didn't affect the 'item', but it still upset me

Rolling along at 50mph and there is a good possibility that a herd of elephants could come out on the road, I suspect I'd have nightmares as well

When my husband first passed his bus test his first job driving he got the bus stuck under a low bridge, the passengers thought it was hilarious, he got in a right sate about it, but practice makes perfect stick with it you will soon gain confidence.

I was thinking about becomming a commercial truck driver, but I think I would rather just grow cannabis.
