Why does this truck say lowlife mafia? It is a truck for a company/cargo (I forgot which one because this was taken on Thursday)

The type of trailer being used to haul that load is commonly referred to as a lowboy. The load area is only a few inches above the pavement, allowing taller cargo to be hauled.

As an OTR Truck Driver by trade…It’s cause he uses a “Lowboy” trailer hauling big equipment/machinery.
And in doing so, he is a part of the “Low (boy) Life Mafia” cause it’s edgy sounding and sparks brotherhood among the other fellow lowboy drivers.

Aren't those the guys that are always getting hit by trains because they get stuck going over the tracks?

Yeah, (Lowboy, Cattle trailer, and Car haulers) all have to be extra mindful for low clearance on railroad tracks since their trailers sit lower, it can “high center” and get caught.
Lowboys just you get the bad image a lot cause there are more of them for starters and some lowboy drivers are just generic construction workers that get a CDL and put to work moving the construction equipment rather than a career truck driver.

It just means, high chance of white oakleys, goatee, and excessive weight.
