    You want to feel important about yourself by becoming a DOT officer? You don't have much self esteem, it seems. Becoming a DOT officer won't help with that, lmao.

    yeah, that's right buddy. I have low self esteem.

    Whoever said 50k is not likely; that's about what I make right now as a driver, and I think DOT inspector is a Caltrans job? This would be close to the SF Bay Area so I bet 5k a month isn't unrealistic. Really I'm just looking to transfer my experience into a more professional field.

    Mods! Change this...person's name to Arnold. Benedict Arnold. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

    Pull into a weigh scale and ask. Hell, they may even hire you on the spot. I know state/federal positions are always hard up for people, just enquire locally. (I'm actually serious about that.)
