I once drove the front arrow truck for a highway department line painting crew. You do not know what fun is until you have to drive down a heavily traveled two lane road at rush hour straddling the center line and forcing traffic onto the shoulders so the paint truck behind you can repaint the lines. Some of the 18 wheelers try to play chicken with you.
Just thought I would help put your new job into perspective, a couple of more trips and you will not think anything of it.
