    I would see if there are any driving colleges in the area (not company sponsored schools, the independent ones). They cost a lot but you can check to see if voc. rehab or another rehabilitation program would pay for it. The school I went to worked hand-in-hand with vocational rehabilitation and job service both to find funding, but I'm on the other end of the country from you. Good luck!

    Talk with some of the OTR companies and tell your story. Depending on what your crime was, they may hire you. The worst they can do is say no. Good luck!
