The other day I was thinking about how much more truck drivers in the US can sometimes earn delivering the goods that are sold on the e-commerce websites I build than I earn building said websites.

Plus, they get to see way more of the country than I do as a coder.

Seriously thinking that before I retire I might have to give being a truck driver a go.

    Truck driving is not easy though. And the hours are long. Would be nice to try though.

    Biggest con.... You're alone.

    For days - if it's a long run.

    @-red Definitely not. I have friends who do it or whose fathers did. But I’d chalk it up to good, hard, honest work. Some software projects just seem frivolous by comparison.

    @IntrusionCM I’m good with alone time. I could get through a lot of audiobooks and podcasts that way.

    At least as far as longer hauls... truck driving generally pays jack shit.

    Their income hasn't increased in ages.
