16. More on truck driving....as a career change
Edited on Mon Nov-07-05 07:35 PM by sabate
I have a friend who spent over 20 years in the computer software industry. After surviving many layoffs, his job was outsourced to India. He's 54.

He got a truck driving job with one of the big nationals. They trained him and paid for his training. Now he drives for them all over the 48 states. He takes his bicycle with him, has a laptop in the tractor with a free Internet connection, has XM radio.

If you're a loner, it's a sweet deal.
