Being that yourself employed, did you set up a company or an LLC for yourself? Unless I missed it you didn't mention that you already have a cdl. So Either way I don't see self employment being a problem. Good luck.

 

PART 391 requires three years, unbroken, employment history and for those driving more than 3 years an additional 7 years of driving history.

Have seen situations where, during the past three years, someone stopped to run the family farm while dad recuperated from some medical condition, before returning to driving.

A letter stating that was accepted [farm's letter head would be really good] though, of course, good ole J J Keller has a couple forms for that!

Remember 'self-employment' IS employment, it all depends on how/if the carrier decides to document the time.

Depending on the potential for the 'side gig' to interfear with your 70 hours working for the carrier, they may be hesitant to invest in bringing you aboard, your mileage may vary.

 

You seem like an intelligent guy, so maybe play the stock market from the cab of your truck. Lots of drivers on this forum are doing that and some are making big money.
