1) If you switch to tanker or something more specialized than dry van you’ll be paid more for the same investment of your time.
2) There are companies who don’t run you ragged. In the oilfield, many companies run a 5/2 then 5 on, 3 off schedule. Don’t know if you live anywhere near Alberta to make that happen. That may be what you need - more regular time off for you.
3) If you’re thinking/feeling that way, start doing something about it now. It won’t go away or get better magically. A lot of people will let those feelings just build and build until they explode like a volcano one day. Then they get fired/quit and have no plan on what to do next.
Does it get better?

had moved south. Hauling stock cattle to Indianapolis, layover with his family folks there.
They had a TV. We didn't at home, I was engrossed. Question: Do you farm ? Yes Mam.
What crops do you raise? Mostly oats and soybean, Mam. So on and so forth, was interfering with my TV watching. I tried to be nice like Momma always said, so it went on awhile.
Then it hit me... They were quizzing me to hear me talk. So, I went cold coon, collards,
cotton and mules southern in my most melodious tones. They were enthralled. Stayed
with them even when their relative did not make the trip. (I was 17 years old)SoulScream84 and Chinatown Thank this. -

There is money to be made in that work, keep in mind though that you are a refrigeration mechanic and diesel mechanic.
