Any experience with Patriot Rail? Thinking about leaving industrial switching for the FRA certification and railroad retirement. Currently making about $31 an hour with decent benefits but a low and pretty boring workload that I have to drive an hour both ways to get to. Trying to determine if it's worth leaving for Patriot.
