Please help this veteran

I have a little over 3 yrs otr recent experience and live in Westmoreland, TN--hr north of Nashville on 31. I drove for Schnieder a yr year and three months and got a distracted driving ticket Sep 2020. Cop saw me in Indiana looking at phone at red-light and only gave me $150 distracted driving ticket. State of TN for what ever reason wrote it up as Texting while driving, so Schnieder let me go. Went to Firstfleet for a year and 11 months, delivering to Kroger stores across America. I got a ticket because my trailer tire nicked a fire hydrant, no real damage, trying to avoid telephone pole. I also got five minor preventable accidents as some of the Kroger stores were built in 80s when delivery trucks and trailers were alot smaller. So two tickets and five preventables, although I as I explain on my applications that i argue that two weren't accidents. Now nobody will hire me, not even the mom and pop companies. The mega companies take one look and turn me down. The mom and pop companies want to hire me but when they turn in my paperwork, their insurance rejects me. Local driving turns me down. Someone told me to try May trucking, but same thing. Another told me to try Western Express, but in talking to former drivers-they make you pay the gas when you have to drive dead head. Someone else told me to try foreign owned, so who are some? I am a veteran, 1993 to 1999 Army. Thank you for any help.
