When I was a young man I thought I'd only drive truck for a while til something better came along. Almost twenty years later here I am still at it. I just can't figure out how a software engineer and a pro poker player would ever want to do this.

I'm not a poker player at all. I don't play cards. The Software Engineer part. Well, the economy tanked and pretty much every new job I got went out of business real quick or the competition bought them up. After a while I just didn't care anymore other then collect a paycheck. It grows old.
LoneCowboy, Rocks, glitterglue and 4 others Thank this. -
Didn't DY play pro poker?

Oh oh. Misunderstood you. I don't know.

I did the tanker thing for a winter month in ND. I actually liked the work, but the shady company I was with took 4 months to pay (and only after legally escalating the matter every few weeks).
Same thing there, though -- you heard all kinds of stories about guys making $100k, but never mentioning running 18+ hours/day and 30,000lb overweight. Do it legal and working sensible hours, and by the time you factored taxes & living expenses you were better off OTR, at least as someone without enough tanker experience to get on with thr big players...
