That is in the US. The UK/EU is different.
Skim reading the article note the us truck driver was talking while driving which is a bit worrying. Ever tried to have a chat with someone while watching a TV show? You can't do both, so driving and chatting on the phone can be dangerous imo.
But it does take a certain mental nature/state to drive a hgv as you are alone for hours on end. The best paid were the night drivers and even now it is less than 40k
