Hey guys I’ve been reading this post. I am a Deputy Sheriff in Florida and have been in law enforcement for 27 years. Due to unforeseen medical situation that happened my wife had to medically retire and that cut $3000 from our monthly income.
I can’t live on the $36500 I make yearly at the Sheriffs office so a buddy who left a sheriffs office in north Florida and I got to talking and he works for Wiltrans and he showed me that I could average about $2000 biweekly as a company driver. That’s $1000 more than I make now biweekly.
I’ve always for the last couple of years wanted to get into driving and figured nie is a good time. I love being a cop and live the agency I am with but at the end of the day financially I gave to do what is best for my family. I BBC will also be with Wiltrans as a company driver and otr. It is a very scary situation coming out of my comfort zone and any advice would be appreciated 😁
