    What areas of trucking as a driver would one get the most money?

    would it be the long distance driving?

    How does the system work?
    or working on your own with your own truck?

    What could the average trucker make? in a year and month?

    how many hours of the day do you actually work?

    LTL is the way to go for money. However they all require at least a year experience.

    Is LTL what the guys on Shipping Wars do? they seem like they make pretty good money most of the time.

    Starting out as a company driver, you should average $40k per year. You won't find this at all companies so it's best to 'interview' drivers and find a company that will satisfy your needs.

    Visit a truck stop and ask drivers about their company. Most will be happy to share their wisdom. Take notes, then continue your research online.
