The trucking industry is in a really bad state right now. Between all the foreign drivers that have flooded the industry for last twenty years and especially the last five years and the bar of admissions being lowered has resulted in stagnating wages. 25 years ago a driver needed to be able to drive a standard transmission and be able to find locations with just an address and map along with some other skills that aren't needed in today's industry. The result of GPS, automated transmissions and a countless other automations have lowered the bar of entry so low that a monkey can literally do it and the full on automation is not that far off. All this will result in even more prolonged wage stagnation for the foreseeable future. Yes you can still eek out a half decent living possibly but your going to have to sacrifice for it and that might be okay. But ultimately there is no future in trucking long term, if you're young you are way better off picking any other profession to get experience in, you might make more as a trucker right off the bat for the first couple of years but you're upwards mobility will be capped whereas other professions have a lot more room to grow in. Basically trucking as we know it is a dieing industry and if you are under the age of 33 I would highly recommend picking something else to get (valuable) experience in and not wast any time in trucking.
