I don’t know much about the truck driving lifestyle but for the Same money from that vs a normal 35 hour work week writing code in a nice office that’s a 20 minute commute, I don’t think I’d switch.
Some people do like traveling / seeing the world so maybe it appeals to that? No idea if it would even satisfy such an itch.
Not all truckers are long haul. Some are home every night. Others gone during the week. And then others for weeks. What you’re hauling also impacts pay.
If you were an 18 year old or so, no plans for college or anything, and no issues with lots of driving it would be a good option. Get your CDL, and long haul for a few years. Save and save. With no rent and minimal overhead you could have well into six figures saved up by your mid-20s. Then you’d have a lot of options in life
my genes are the IDEAL MASCULINE expression perfectly designed for Hunter/Gather activities like WALKING to the CAFE to charm some strumpets or GOSSIP with the fellows!
and yeah, I am a gingerly fellow too, but can still grow the Salt&Pepper into a ManBun if I wish to change things up for a NativeAmerican/JohnSnow style impression if that’s the fashion I wish to express for personal preference and/or to impress the strumpets
