    Quit. Do you really want to drive for a company that expects you to drive this piece of junk. Issues to your health is another thing. Give your head a shake and walk.

    Take pictures of your issues and see a doctor. Get some paperwork to back you. If it's that bad, and that obvious, then at least you'll have some proof for a claim thru EI, WCB, etc ....

    Headaches and sore throat would have me looking for an exhaust leak. That sounds more like carbon monoxide poisoning. Buy a detector. If you idle while sleeping, you should have one anyway.

    Maybe it's too late. Too many fumes cooked his brain.
