Considering trucking- need advise

In trucking you're limited to 70 hrs. in 8 days. Some/many of us don't bat an eye at those hours. Would it be worth it to "take home" over a thousand a week?
There's one job in Raleigh that requires 24 months experience and it's a team operation and each driver makes over $100K per year. That's just something to think about for the future, should you decide to change careers.
