Sounds like a lot of work for a decent amount of money. I recently put myself in the the same situation, I am in Wisconsin monday through friday making some nice money but the job is demanding, very dirty, and a lot of physical labor.
Who would have thought semi tractors would be extremely dirty with only 30-40k on them?
I cant imagine cleaning up after a derailment thought, I am sure it makes my job look like a walk in the park.
