How to get a job when I have a 2 year employment gap due to injury?

I had surgery and I even reached a settlement. All of which can be proved. But every time I go to try to get a job they see that gap in my resume which was before I became a truck driver, and they say they can’t hire me.

I have told various companies I can provide proof but I would allways get “we are moving forward with other drivers”.

currently considering being a dump truck driver although I have a CDL class A. However am I going to have the same issue? And why is it that warehouse workers who start off working for a company and get their CDL while working for the company can get hired within their company having no experience but someone who didn’t work for the company and also has 0 experience can’t work their because insurance sees them as a risk or they need verified tractor experience?

 

I’m in Harper Woods Michigan. Right next to Detroit it borders it.
What are 1099 companies & how would I know if a company is that or a 2nd chance company?

yeah I could pass those with flying colors never did drugs in my life

 

Didn’t get workmen comp but I did get loss wages thru my insurance. It was not in the job. Was hit by a bus as a passenger in the back of Lyft

 

Ok great. How would I be able to identify a company as being one of those?

Im really having hopes of being a dump truck driver but don’t know if they have the same regulations and if they are second chance or not.
