Try working for a O/O.
Early on I drove for 3 months. My mother became ill and I had to take care of her for 2.5 years. Gave up on trucking after that. 05 I posted my resume on Monster jobs and was contacted by a O/O with 6 trucks. He was leased to Bullocks Express. He had me fill out the application all But the Employments Section. I went to his house and filled it out. He told me what to say. Apparently I worked for him from 01-05. I passed a road test from Bullocks and was with that O/O for a year until he went bankrupt and I was in the same boat. He was unreachable for a reference. That didnt stop me. Signed up with a day labor company that had Class A jobs. Another O/O found me. This was ever better then before. I never filled out an application. Did a road test on monday and was gone on Tuesday. He has his own trailer and DOT #. I quit a year later because he could not pay me on time and owed me $1400 for fixing tha A/C in the truck. Bottom line is... If you keep looking you will eventually find someone to hire you. Most times O/O with a few trucks are desperate to keep their trucks rolling. I would go down that road for right now until you get back into it

Check for the local haulers that haul rock out of the quarrys with end dumps, or might try asphalt tankers.
