Who have you applied to? Sounds to me like they prefer to have inexperience behind the wheel so they can pay him $.25 cpm. There may be some legitimate insurance reasons but nothing that a little refresher course wouldn't fix I am sure.
Are you sure you want to do this? Things are tight and about to get tighter. Can't you get the army to pay for some school or something?
If times were better, and if you're not too old, with your drop trailer experience you could probably get on with maverick or TMC as a company driver for a while then take a stab at it on your own when things get better. Sounds like you have the mechanic side of things locked up and that is a huge benefit to the guy who wants to go it alone.
EDIT: I just re-read your post. Sounds like you might be too old for TMC but you never know. They're probably laying off anyway. Just buy a used RGN and move equipment. Or find out how to move those wind turbines.
