    welcome aboard ted. Greater chicago has plenty of trucks that is for sure . All my wife's family lives near you so I spend plenty of time in Manhatten. Romeoville, Crest hill and Lockport. I just reinvented myself also NJ unemployment paid my whole bill for school so hopefully you can get some funding.
    I drive OTR but there are plenty of doors to pound on in your area to find work. I was able to get my bus endorsement from school also if that is possible would open up even more doors for you Good Luck
