Getting off of disability and K restriction and getting driving.

I am about to test for my Class A, and am having problems even getting interviewed. I am in my mid-30s and have always been on disability; No job experience whatsoever. I am also legally blind in one eye, which restricts me to my state of residence. I already have my Class B, with which I was planning to either drive a garbage truck or school bus, but they both rejected me. I even took the DMV tests for S and P before applying!

What should I do? Do I have any prospects at all of getting a job?

 

Yes, but that's not a problem. My only problem is that I can't really do any OTR driving, because my DOT examiner requires me to have a waiver for my vision and a K restriction, which limits me to my state. So I can't get that experience.

Right, but that's what I've trained to do. I don't want to waste my time and the governments money (I spent several months on this, and VOC Rehab paid 5k bucks for my schooling).

 

Thanks, but I don't think I'd want to deliver vehicles.

 

Thank you. That's a good idea. I had wondered about that, BUT all I ever hear is that a CDL is an instant ticket to a job, and that they'll hire you fresh out of trucking school with no experience. So I assumed SOMEONE in the industry would hire me. Like, people always tell high school seniors they can get their CDL at 18 and will get hired immediately - and they also have a K restriction (due to being under 21) and no experience, so what's the deal?
