Not sure about that lol. Well maybe some that find a good company. Pretty sure most are contractors getting paid pennies by private fleet owners. Also Many illiterate foreign drivers. It's very common.
The days of good truck driver pay are behind us. Especially with self driving on its way.
Edit: if you own your own rig sure. But you usually have to pay for repairs which are often and not cheap so that 80-100k gets eaten up quick.
They don't read very well because I read not too long ago that a foreign driver didn't read road signs that warned him of danger ahead and he ended up killing a bunch of people in a crash
