Thinking of buying my own truck, is freight hard to get?

I am trying to make up my mind. I am driving now for a company as a lease owner op and training new drivers. I have a year experience and a relatively clean record.

I had two accidents when I first started almost a year ago. I hear that some loads pay pretty well, $2 to $3 a mile, along with fuel surcharge. Is this true, and is it easy enough to find freight?

If freight is available, how do I go about finding it?
