You have all been very helpful and I will contact some recruiters before long to see which company is my best fit and weigh my options with them.

Not sure if I already mentioned this or not, but my brother in law used to drive a semi. He told me that he sees no reason why I shouldn't be able to attend CDL school or drive a truck if I have arthritis, as long as I can pass the DOT physical. He told me I should be able to get a note from my rheumatologist stating that I currently take medication for my condition which my arthritis responds to & that the doctor does not think my arthritis would impair my ability to drive a semi. Does anyone know if that is true? He said he has diabetes & wasn't allowed to drive until he got a doctor's note, after he was diagnosed. I'm thinking it might have been different for him, since he was already driving.

Thousands of drivers have diabetes and drive with a 1 yr. medical card. Thousands don't disclose they have diabetes so they can get a 2 year medical card vs. a 1 yr. medical card.
CVS pharmacy can give cheap DOT physicals. Get one and find out if you can pass.
If you pass, go to cdl school, then hire on with a company that doesn't require another physical.TheRealPorkChopExpress and Gambosa Thank this.
