I see ads on trucks stating they pay 50 cents/mile IIRC. I thought about it

Especially when they are sitting in traffic alongside me going nowhere. I
really don't know how they handle it.


No, it isn't. Sitting in traffic is part of the game but it's sitting in
a truck stop waiting for your next load that's the killer. If you're not
moving, you're not making money. If you consider the hours in the week
when you're not free to do what you want, the hourly rate is well below
minimum.
