I think you will be able to find a job in trucking eventually. I was in a very similar situation and can relate. I worked overseas and saved up a lot of money so I didn't need to work for quite a few years (in which I did various non-paying pursuits). I am not ashamed of what I did and would definitely do it again, but yes it seems like they all treat me suspiciously - as though I'm hiding a stint in prison or was a secret drug abuser. Like others have mentioned, what they do is have you submit all kinds of verifying paperwork. I even had to have friends submit notarized statements that I was unemployed. What is so frustrating, is they make you jump through a bunch of hoops because of employment gaps, yet if someone was a truly nefarious character they would be able to fabricate most of the stuff anyways. You basically just have to bite your tongue, swallow your pride and do the tap dancing they want since they (the employers) hold the keys.

I wonder if my US passport with an arrival and departure stamp from the Philippines is good enough for them? I'm absolutely sick to death about what has happened to the country because of 9/11 and all of this terrorist crap. Now I remember why I moved here in the first place..LOL! Be that as it may, I will comply, like there really is any other option. I've always been an independent person who basically marches to the beat of my own drum, so I'll just bite my tongue on all of this. I've done it in the military, I'll do it here, but I don't have to like it.
