WHAT SHOULD I DO (JOB ADVICE)?

[Jmmmfi4]

SO I DRIVE A CONCRETE MIXER TRUCK AT WORK & GOT LAID OFF FOR THE WINTER ( I THINK) BACK IN November... IM ALMOST OUT OF MONEY AND BILLS ARE STACKING UP. I've BEEN LOOKING FOR OTHER JOBS BUT NO LUCK. SHOULD I ASK THEM IF I CAN COME BACK TO WORK?

PROBLEM IS BEFORE I GOT LAID OFF I WAS HAVING SERVERE ANXIETY WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK. SO PART OF ME IS AFRAID THEY WILL SAY YES. BUT IF I DON'T I'LL HAVE NO INCOME AT ALL. SO IM KIND OF SCREWED NO MATTER WHAT I DO.

IF I LEAVE TRUCK DRIVING I'LL TAKE A LARGE PAY CUT.

Ay man, that's a real tough spot to be in. On one hand, going back to trucking would pay the bills, but if it's making your anxiety bad that's no good long term ya feel? Here's what I'd do:

- Call your boss and be straight up. Say you need work and are wondering if they got any openings soon, even if just temporarily to tide you over.

- If they say no openings yet, ask if maybe you could do some other work there in the meantime, like helping load/unload trucks or doing inventory, anything to bring in some cash flow.

- In the meantime, keep hustling those other job applications hardcore man. Even if it means a pay cut short term, your health has to come first.

- Maybe look into construction gigs too if you're physically able. Lots of labor jobs around this time and they're usually hiring.

- Worst case scenario, you do what you gotta do to pay rent. But have a serious talk with your doc about strategies for managing the anxiety better so trucking isn't forever out of the question either.

You'll make it through this rough patch bro, just gotta grind. Keep your head up - something will break for you soon, I can feel it! Lemme know if you need any other advice.

There are a thousand different types of driving jobs. Check out "driver pulse", which has a shit ton of CDL jobs. One fellow told me driving tankers with food products was the best job he ever had.
