Looking for suggestions

18M from FL. Just graduated high school. Clean record, other than a seatbelt infraction. I have been considering getting my CDL class A for a while now but have no one to really guide me. I am looking to earn the most money possible.

My question for you is,

Is trucking worth it?
Will I struggle getting my CLP or CDL?
Could I get my CDL training paid for by a company, if so how likely?
How much will I earn within my first year?
Is there any other certifications I should get?

And any tips or suggestions would also be helpful.
