I don't want to contradict you but I've heard different things. I had a student in a CS program who told me that he was getting a truck after graduating. His brothers were in the business and making 6 figures. This was in the days that a new grad would make 50K as a starting salary in tech if they were awesome. This is a data point from Canada btw.
Edit - might there be a difference if you own the truck vs. just being a driver? I don't know the details of the industry.

I have an uncle who's a repo man. 80% of his business is collecting big rigs when the owner falls behind in payments. Trucking is an incredibly tough industry to be in. If you don't own the truck, you have a monthly payment that's almost equal to your house payment. Throw in gas prices going through the roof, and you're lucky to make a decent salary,
