You literally described my everyday experience at work in corrections

If you work for fdc as a correctional officer you have to watch out for fellow officers trying to talk bad about you all the time. Then if your captain don’t like you it’s done you will always be dogged out and treated like crap

Hi

Sir what is 5 day orientation training sessions correctional peace officer

Trucks don't have gas pedals.

Do americans just suck at getting paid decent money?

4 seconds is long enough to get in a serious accident, dont text and drive

Hello I was in training at a prison in Texas waiting on my background to clear after a week and a half it came through and disqualified me for being a CO due to a misdemeanor b. So they told me I have to wait 3 years then reapply is this a normal practice or just Texas?

Did you do a video on why you quit CO? You videos were so informative. Thank You for them!

We had a lot of the lazy officers and my mentor sgt was the "hard ass". He wanted to say i was scared but never assisted during a disturbance. He even tried to send me to the captain over a use of force all because he didn't wanna do paperwork

Rules are there to be enforced. There’s no problem being “by the book” if you exhibit empathy at the same time.

I work in a men's prison and do everything but strip them out.

Mobile device laws exist because looking down takes your eyes off the road. This is a condition you and other professional drivers agreed to when accepting employment. So, accept it or shut up. I don't want truckers driving behind me looking down even if they claim it was only 4 seconds. At 60 mph, that's 360 feet, but I bet you're underestimating the time. Everyone says the light was yellow. That's like the dog ate the homework excuse.

Hello! please tell me which program I should choose for training in order to pass the exam and get into the correction academy, and then work in the local prison in the state of Nevada in the city of Las Vegas???

Truck drivers suck

Good to know about the female officers. Im thinking of getting into corrections but ive been wondering how it goes. Judging from your sexist comment, there seems to be resentment towards women. Comments from female CO's indicates they work just as hard and face harrassment from both inmates and male co-workers. Same old story.

Wonder which one I'll turn out to be

They can pay you however they want. There's no requirement for overtime pay as trucking is exempt from US Labor Laws. I just left trucking over a year ago cause it's gotten so bad. And by bad I'm meaning a multitude of things like: extended downtime for services & repairs vs before COVID, expenses like food is preposterous at the truckstops along with good sit-down restaurants being replaced with fast food, and mostly because theres an ongoing issue with the fact there's more trucks out there than there are freight. I left and went into armed security and about to go back corrections even though I told myself I'd never again go back to corrections. Close to 20yrs since the last time I was a corrections officer and I was a trucker of 15yrs.

I'm about to start with the FDC in Ocala, FL. Not fond of going back i to corrections though. Its just the economy is terrible which directly affects my ability to make money in trucking. I left corrections over 16yrs ago for trucking and find myself going back in. My first corrections job was at Georgia State Prison which is maximum security. Responded to a fight in dorm next to mine but was actually a stabbing. Still worked there another 2+ years till i moved to Kentucky and worked at a minimum security facility. Much different there. Didnt have to use force or beak up fights at all there. Oh, and if you work lockdown dorms then expect to eventually have feces and urine thrown on you at some point.

Might need to work on the shot tracer I think

Isn't there anything else to identify yourself with than "crazy" and being an overweight jail guard? You're going nowhere fast.

Brad's "crazy life"? Your pride is with "crazy" compared to intelligent, loyal, or admired? Instead of stating accomplishments like schools, military, or career, you have an undesirable job and are proud of the word crazy. Jail guards repeat "actually" a lot. "Uh, um, um, ah, and you know" display ignorance and a restricted vocabulary. Jails hire anyone with a pulse. It's time to join a gym.

Absolutely. At the company I’m with, if your finger is touching the phone, you are fired! No discussion. You are fired.

And because you're White! That's part of it.

Because highway truckers don't know how to drive

Yes you are correct we need a lot of changes starting with the government. Maybe we all just need to set home for seven days.

Crossing state lines or agriculture

So you ADMIT to Texting while driving ?

Before I traded a driving career in petroleum for a career in a steel mill making more money with a great union, I'd just use that Lytx as a hat rack sometimes. Never counted on any bonus either. If they didn't like it, I knew how to damage the engine, clutch and spin bearings in a transmission as my thank you on the way back to the yard dumping the clutch in 6th gear after coasting up to 40 mph, or shearing the output shaft. I might be the reason they're all automatics now. 😆

You broke the rules& the law deal with the consequences

I hear what you're saying. Cause they will use that against you. You could have a clean DMV record and that doesn't matter anymore.

While I would never drive for a nanny company, to be fair to them, you signed up with them. They have rules/procedures, it's their name on the door, they sign the front of the check.... you do what you're told or face their consequences. Personally, I have 10 years until retirement.... thinking about trading my truck for a forklift in a warehouse. Less pay, but far less risk/responsibility, regular hours with weekends and holidays off, and less stress. With the idiots getting crazier on the road, the FMCSA (actually FMCCA, Federal Motor Carrier COMPLIANCE Administration .... it ain't about safety guys) tightening their grip, and truck stops getting less bearable (closed restaurants, etc), the juice is no longer worth the squeeze.

They gonna like it even more when you piss in a bottle cuz you got no where else to go...smh

By I 40 here. truck stops are ridiculously full. Shower get in line. right side of the road is gone Parking 🤣🤣

❤Totally understand. FJB at his finest

Truck driver jobs were never very good,being away from home all the time for very little pay,NO THANKS.

I don't know if you're a new driver but in my 27 years a driving trucking companies are the worse, they are always looking at new ways to burn the driver. I like driving but hate being a trucker it is a terrible career path. My advice to young new drivers is get out now before you're old and hand cuffed to the worse job you could ever have. There is nothing good about this profession or the people you have to work with.

Why would you work for a company like that

Corporations and the elites are ruining everything.

Not a truck driver but I don’t work for any company that has cameras in the cab. When you hire me you trust me, if you don’t trust me don’t hire me. It’s that simple. I don’t need somebody watching me all day waiting for me to make one mistake.

You were driving and used your phone while driving. 4 seconds at 60mph is 352 feet....far enough for an issue to arrive. Break the law and win dumb prizes...in this case a 500 loss and 4hr class. A+ Now not agreeing with the camera point, but his justification is enough to show that he likely has done this many times. A cop sees that and in my state is a 500 fine to you and the company.

They’ll trim down the labour with these cameras, hoping they’ll have self driving trucks, and eliminate jobs.

I agree 100%

If you get caught using your phone whilst driving a motor vehicle, it's up to the Police to enforce a fine; not the company. They can say "we don't condone the use of phones whilst driving", but the penalty for doing so comes back to the DRIVER, not the company. They have no right to have you on cabin-facing camera, or to take away the bonus. Get a new truck job, Brad, two years plus service with this company is more than enough to get something different... and quickly.

Don’t text and drive.

did you go on duty for the re education ... probably not , they wont mind that though ...

it okay , they have lots of indians ready to take your seat !!!

and drug testing for legal drugs EH !!

they sent me a video .... running a stop sign in a parking lot at 3 am !!!!!!

Its all about covering themselves and take from you . Its got to the point its not worth it . Also the cameras are on all the time . I have confirmed this .
