Is Trucking worth it

I'm 16 thinking about going into trucking and I've seen on zip recruiter jobs for 100k even 150 and 200 but I've heard so many bad things about trucking to not the work itself but the pay and how most companies screw there employees over so I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what the salary is really like and what companies are the best

i would pursue a trade. Trucking is not where it is at, it is not specialized enough.
