As you and I know, Western Express also has a dry van division.
I don't know anything about that division. They do give drivers a 2nd chance or even a 1st chance for new drivers with no experience.

Cannot find anyone to hire me?

Chicago. Chicago!? Tons of trucking jobs there! Only thing I wouldn't take is the infamous 1099 companies there. I remember seeing banners on overpasses for one big one. Advertising their dock to driver program.

Swift may work out well for you. Not all that bad. As I understand. Never drove for them. Did pull a couple of their trailers for another company. Easy to work with.
.
I talk down reefer. The whole time I did reefer, I was overtired. Dry van is better. Nothing wrong with it.
.
Don't worry about the backing. Take it slow and don't hit nothing. Then experience will give you confidence. If it's tight, even if it isn't. Drop your tandems all the way back. I used to say I could thread a needle with the tandems all the way back. I could wipe out the parking lot with the tandems all the way forward.
