I need a company to give me a chance

Hi all.
I am 34, been licensed since 2016. Clean record all the way around. I drove for a mega reefer carrier for about 6 months then left the industry due to the treatment i was given, pulling off of the interstate when i ran out of HOS and couldnt get any advice on what to do from their “after hours”, ( was in total gridlock with nowhere to go), and forced teaming as i just cant get any actual sleep in a moving truck! I now have learned about the HOS issue and what to do and not to do in those situations. I am on rehire status with them, but no way.
Now i am trying to get back into the industry and having a hellova time at it. I am trying to stay away from other mega carriers due to so many bad stories i have heard about them and lack of them actually caring about their drivers. I do not want to team ( other than the obvious refresher training i will most likely have to have) and have no family at home to go see. Just me and my two cats is all. I can get a friend to watch my cats for a couple of weeks while i retrain, but cant leave them for a long period of time. Thats one problem i am running into. The other problem is insurance. It seems nobody can get me on their insurance with my little bit of not recent experience.
Not bragging but i guarantee if i can get in a driving test i can drive that truck with no problems and do it safely! Albeit if its a manual truck it may be a little jerky until i get the hang of it again. Im not auto restricted and got my CDL in a 10 speed.
i am in Mississippi, again, totally clean record all the way around and am willing to live on the road for long periods of time. I just need to have my little buddies with me and need a chance to prove it. Any advice or suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Wow thanks for all of the quick replies y’all. I will fill out some applications! Yeah i realize my cats may present a problem for some companies, but they are all i have and i am all they have. I’m willing to pay more of a deposit if needed, i just cant leave them and cant get rid of them. Thanks again y’all!
