As a company truck driver, it's virtually impossible. Even a contract truck driver from a western country in Iraq only earns about half of that. If you own your own truck, it's possible to gross $200K, but most of that money is going right back into the truck.

Large commercial company truck drivers can make well over $70,000 a year. But specialty truck drivers are who make the most. They are in charge of delivering large load, chemicals, and other hazardous materials. This driver can make well over six figures a year.
According to the Owner Operator and Independent Driver's Association, the average owner-operator in 2008 had a gross income of $158,005, with expenses of $117,458, for an average profit of $49,711. A company truck driver can make well over $50,000 a year, especially on a dedicated account. So when compared side by side, being an owner operator is not as lucrative as it sounds.
The average annual salary for a long haul cattle truck driver is about $37,930. This falls in line with the salary of most kinds of over-the-road truck drivers.

Yes, typically the company that owns the commercial truck is responsible for fines related to trucking violations, including being ticketed for being over length. It is the company's responsibility to ensure that their drivers are in compliance with all regulations and laws while operating the commercial vehicle.

Most all truck drivers are paid by the mile based upon the freight they are carrying. That being said my research shows the average truck driver can expect to make between $30 and 50 thousand annually. In the economic downturn we are in those wages have gone down. But those numbers are the yearly average over the last several years.
An over the road trucker means he is not a local or regional driver, he travels across the entire country wherever the company sends him. Over the road could be replaced with using the term cross country trucker.
