Trucker vs. Computer programmer? Two jobs lined up.

I am both a programmer (PHP/MySQL) and truck driver. I jumped back into driving two years ago after a 15 year driving hiatus in IT. Programming jobs were slim to none for what I do unless I wanted to pick up another 25 skills to which I thought NOT!

If you want to drive then you should do it, but try to keep up on your programming skills. You may ultimately find yourself writing code for the company that you're driving for.

Incidentally, here is one of my most recent efforts in programming (and transportation). A single page site that illustrates the danger that the FMCSA's hours of service (HOS) regulations pose to drivers and the public. Please check it out and sign the petition to overhaul these stupid rules.

And if any of you other coders want to be involved in this effort, just let me know.
