Welcome, you came to the right place. Do lots of reading and then ask lots of questions.
If you can make it to the expo in Ohio this month, it is well worth your time.

Have you driven a straight truck? Have you driven a truck over the road?
Most here would recommend driving for a truck owner before you hop into a truck payment or your own truck

I'll let others answer the money question
If you know what your doing and your on with a good company, yes you can make money, but it's a tough business in this economy
If your willing to drive tractor trailer OTR possibility of even better money
And if you can make it to the expo you can talk to companies directly
