This sounds like a blatant "grass is greener" mirage. Guys drive trucks
because it's all they can do to support themselves, not for any other reason.
When I fall asleep at my terminal, I get fired. When I fall asleep at the

I think his assessment of his experience is not based on an illusion. He also wasn't saying it was better than software development. He was burnt out in the software world and drove trucks simply to do something that wasn't that. After a few years of truck driving, he returned to the software world, which is what he is still doing today, and speaks positively of both that and truck driving.
