Could you please shed some light on what made you pursue Truck driving after being a software developer (besides the meetings of course)? Was it out of choice or necessity?

Necessity. After leaving a software QA job without the next job in hand, I had one interview in a year. Blame it on whatever you want, that was my reality.

As for truck driving ... "They were hiring."

EDIT: I do enjoy it, it's a big and beautiful country, and the work is pretty easy.
