    I am really lucky to have over a decade's worth of knowledge in programming. There is an unlimited demand for it, and when I am waiting for a load sometimes I add some features to clients' websites that pays really well. It is really awesome when I get delayed and can still make a lot of money. Anyone else have something legal on the side for added income?

    remember, you are supposed to log all other work outside trucking. not that I would, but just saying, careful who you let know about this.

    Yup I know about that and I am still logged on duty while working. It only takes a few minutes, I am not spending hours working every day. The same amount of effort to create this post is what is used when adding small features to websites that people request. I charge mechanic wages for it heh.

    My older brother does some programming for an aircraft manufacturerer. He is an independent contractor and works from home. He gets paid $125/hour.

    Yup I used to code a ticketing system for my local airport that paid well. I had a nice office that overlooked the runway where I would watch the planes take off.

    I don't think I could work in that kind of office. I'd just spend all day watching airplanes and never get anything done. :biggrin_2559:

    is it php coding? How long does it take to learn. I used to make sites with dreamweaver mx but most of the code was created by the program.

    According to the driver I told to quit whining on the cb about being forced to do the speed limit while the truck in front of him passed several slower trucks, I give lousy blow jobs in the men's room for cheap.
