Hauling LTL Freight

I did a search and found lots of threads with ltl but didnt see anything specific for my question so hope this isnt redundent. I am wondering how many of you drivers out there haul pretty much all ltl freight. In my area it is a great way to make more money with less driving and stay close to home. However it is a ton more work due to all the loading and unloading and scrambling to get to shippers before they close or waiting for them to open.
So I guess my main questiion is how popular is this for OO and can one actually make more in the long run say per year then actually flatbedding OTR?
