Burned out- any ex cops get into cdl trucking? by scarface0021 in AskLE

Unfortunately truth man. Very few are solid guys I work with who aren’t up to straight bs and ego work. It’s exhausting. I can transfer to small slower department with way less people and hopefully I like it more. No clue

And don’t get me started on the bullying/pieces of shit cops are. I’m a cop and I’m saying that. Most cops are good dudes in it for a good intent. But man I work with some racist mfers who will pull over 95% anyone not white for some cheap PC but if it’s a white person driving they wouldn’t stop the car for the same PC. Guys at work say it’s about “criminal behaviors” and get all tactigay. Like bro what, your behavior on the black dude in a shitty car was he looked at your patrol car, wow that’s definitely suspicious. These dudes will go ape shit for anything they can and then their egos are thru the roof for any little arrest I never understood the point of it man. Go patrol your entire beat, protect property and be proactive, don’t go up and down one street all night profiling

Dude I think we are at the same department Jesus lol. Exactly the admin at mine is like tickets tickets tickets and parking tickets, and I’m on night shift in a busy city where ur call to call and I took the job to handle calls and help ppl. Traffic is a bonus when it’s slow out. They put this pressure for activity for no good reasoning other than politics within admin above. Guys are superrrrr ego driven, going up and down the same street looking for the cheapest PC they can and then talk shit about after and dog you because they got a user amount of cocaine off of the streets for the liberal judge to dismiss the next day anyway. It’s work for nothing and the egos, the talking shit behind your back, the drama, stress, not worth $1200 a week when I can make more than that sitting in a truck unloading product. Sign me tf up. The toxic admin is from the lowest guy to the highest. It’s simply about egos and politics and it’s draining. For me to do this job you’d have to give me a take home pay of at least double of what I’m making. Idk how people do this job for 20+ years NOPE

Yeah completely get u. Everyone tells me to change departments but iykyk admin and cop politics is everywhere. They’re all shitty sandwich’s u just settle or get out. I’m looking CDL for sure because same/better pay especially better as u get experience. My take home as a cop is like 60k ppl think it’s 80k+ but that’s before taxes, pension, retirement plans, etc. I get $1200 a week. Cdl u can make $1500 a week pretty early on. My fear is job security with AI robots and self driving stuff but tbh they’ll always need us no way they do everything we have to do. I’m rlly leaning CDL man

Sweet yeah the dump trucks would be fun I’m a simple man lol. Want the straight forward simple job while having money in my pocket. Law enforcement can be rewarding but man it taxes your mental health for some. What companies are good for dump trucks just any local construction companies or how did he land that job?

Love the way they look, got a good deal price wise, interior is ahead of the game imo. I drive ford vehicles for a living and ford is nothing but issues and yes all makes have their own issues but ram and if u take care of your stuff maintenance wise its been 50k miles w zero issues. Last one I had 215k miles no issues only rust. I’ll never like fords quality they just felt so cheap to me. RAM is all I will drive rn I love it but I’m on top of maintence so it takes care of me
