If you have disability, you should apply to voc rehab like today or check out h2h.jobs
For one I am soooo sorry for your loss, Have you tried other semi driving options or construction ? I know you say you were in a accident so dont know if your physically disabled but thats a start. Try croell redimix, and bill lane construction there always hiring sweets

so sorry that happened

hope all works out for the best!
Pick up a copy of The Exchange. It is a free newspaper, usually at the foyer of grocery stores, Theisen's and other places. Has a section of trucking jobs in it. Saw an ad looking for cement mixer drivers in it and they will train. Also, have you tried Cedar Rapids Transport, they are always looking.
And just to be encouraging, I changed careers at 36, 47, and again at 51. People love to hire old guys 'cause they still have work ethic.
