    I have a terrible employment history. I was fired from my first company because I wouldn’t go see safety when I was sick. At my second company I had a medical issue and I took their tractor back to them after 5 months. I have some employment history gaps.

    I have a clean driving record. Will anybody out there even look at me for a job!?!

    The question(s) is, how much experience do you have? Where are you located? How much of a gap between jobs? How long since your last job? Are you sure you're good to go in terms of health? Also are you sure that this is what you want to do?

    Go to Craigslist for trucker jobs. Plenty of companies, most 1099, that will hire.
