Need alternatives for a year or so

So ive been trucking for about 10 years now OTR. Last 3 years ive had some hits. 2 a couple years ago for 6-10 over. Those were absolutely my dumb fault and responsibility. Got a 3rd hit last november from a statey pulled me over cause he saw me slightly swerve on2 the shoulder. Which is true. I was closing an alert on my phone because it was blocking the gps with its siren and an alert had been issued in your area crap. Now I wouldnt have even swerved but it was more difficult to close it because my phone was in a holder on my dash. I was NOT holding my phone but he issued me a violation for improper lane and using a phone while driving. I also couldnt fight it apparently because it wasnt a ticket. He specifically listed it as an inspection violation which I was told meant I couldnt fight it in court. Anyway my employer was fine. Back in november. Just got a call today that the company was "spotlighted" by the fmcsa for their declining safety rating and so their insurance is going up and im becoming uninsurable. The two speeding tickets dont come off till 2025, and I know with the 3 incidents I wont be able to continue OTR til then. Any advice on some high paying jobs my experience and cdl could give me a leg up in for a year or so? Desk jobs driving jobs IDC just need to keep making my car payments so need best money I can get fast. Also can I file for unemployment? Any advice appreciated. And yes I was absolutely stupid with my speeding that advice I am well aware of.
