I can give you 3 tips that might get you in the door.
1. Be proactive and place a free ad on a site like kijiji.com (your town, job wanted); another good one is
Truck Driving Jobs, Trucker jobs, Owner Operators, truckdrivingjobs, cdl jobs These are all free.
2. Talk to some trucking companies in ... Canada. 95% of our runs are into U.S. I'm Canadian and I can work for U.S. company; so can you work for a Canadian company. Challenger Motor Freight out of Cambridge, Ontario hired me with 0 experience in 2005, right out of the trucking school. Situation is different now but it may be worth a try.
3. Talk to employment agencies in your town. Sometimes they might hire a Class "A" driver for local work. This will give you experience for getting a better job later on.
