I want to run fuel, whats the quickest way to a fuel tanker job in ARIZONA?

First, a little background.
I had been running a 33ft straight truck locally for 2 years with a class B but wanted to step up to the big time. I spoke to a KAG West fuel driver at the local Quik Trip and he pretty much sold me on the job and company. He told me you needed at least 2 years OTR experience before you can get a job as a fuel driver. I figured 2 years goes by pretty quick, so I went to truck driving school, got me a shiny new CDL with Hazmat, tanker and doubles/triples endorsements and headed out with one of the OTR training companies. Uh, yeah. Now I LOVE driving the rigs, but I pretty much knew by day 3 that OTR truck driving was NOT for me. You see, I'm a family man in my mid 30's with two children under 10. Well, my experience of doing OTR was horrible and I ended up quitting after 2 months.
So...
Is there any possible way to get to run a fuel truck while doing local work? Are there ANY dedicated runs available to a guy in Arizona? I have a clean background, NO drugs/smoking/alcohol issues, ZERO driving points, never an at fault collision (or ANY collisions for that matter!) and I'm a pretty sharp guy when it comes to driving the rig! I'm willing to make runs from Phoenix to Flagstaff, Tucson, Chiriaco Summit (drop and hooks?) Cabazon etc.. I know, probably the jobs that most guys want.
So am I just out of luck? Went and spent a small fortune on schooling to no avail? I can take the hard truth, if you guys say I gotta run OTR to get anywhere in this industry just let me know. But if there is another way I need to find it!
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and thank you in advance for any advice, wisdom or thoughts concerning my situation! God bless =)
