Been driving local for a year, can't find a job cause no experience

I've been driving now for while local, running end dump, tank, and hopper, and ran out of work in Dec. We (hubby and I) both work for the same place, and since Dec. we've worked a day here, two days there up until two weeks ago. Then we started running again, only to find out I'm kicked off the only run we currently have because I had my kid with me for one round, about two hours (and the boss didn't care about having him with me). I took the boy with me into the place we dump, and a security guard (female) called the guy who contracted us to do this and went on about how she couldn't believe I would bring a child in a truck and how horrible that is. I was told by another person that she was bragging about getting me thrown out, as I am the only female that was running in there, and she didn't want the "competition". So then I got chewed out by the boss for taking boy with me. Then they put me running tank last Friday and Saturday, then again on Monday. Then Tuesday there was nothing to do "because of the weather" (rained like holy moses here). My hubby got back up there with his truck Tues night and sees all three tanks coming back in from running all day. And the tanks ran again on Wed. One with a new driver in it. It's Thurs now and I haven't worked since Monday. Boss calls me Monday afternoon, after I had parked the truck and headed home, and says I was supposed to go to another place to load after the three that I ran for the first place. No one told me. I think that's why I haven't worked the rest of this week. Cause he's mad at me for not showing up.

So I'm looking for a job. So far, everyone I've called has said that I don't have any experience. If I can drive the junk that we are driving, I can certainly drive a real truck. But they say I need at least six months of "over the road" experience. I know how to live in a truck. It's been a lot of years (seventeen to be exact), but I can still do it, I'm sure. I really can't afford to go to the Fab Five (JB, Weiner, etc). I would be leaving my husband, my three year old son, and my two girls that I only see every other weekend as it is. I do not want to be away for six weeks at a time because some dumb butt college twit dispatcher doesn't think hometime is important. I was reading some posts about another company and came across some stuff on MCT posted by eskimo6804. So I checked out their website. It says one year experience. Doesn't say verifiable OTR. So I called the main office number, and was told I have to have two years verifiable OTR. So, back to square one. Anyone got any ideas on who I can call to get a job that will get me home at least every other weekend to see my kids?

 

FFE won't even hire me.

 

No it's nothing on my dac. I called them after looking up jobs on a trucking job website. I didn't send them an app, or do an app on the web site. I called them, after looking at their own site, and was told that. Basically what I am hearing from all the places I've talked to so far is I can't qualify as a "student" driver because I already have a CDL A with tank. So as near as I can figure, I'm not a qualified "student" because I've got the CDL and have been driving for a year and also have driving experience, but I can't get a job because I have "no driving experience". HUH? Local or OTR, the only differences are doing logs every day and the fact that you live in the truck instead of your house during the week. We still drive the same interstates, state highways, and sometimes the OTR guys even have to go on little county roads that we farm and rock haulers travel all the time. There's local drivers that have to do log books every day, per their company policy, and there are local drivers who don't have to. And we still have to deal with the same dumb donkey end four wheeler drivers. We locals just have to live in the same community as said donkey ends unfortunately.
