Job History Woes the catch 22

To keep it fairly short n sweet I've got no work history, I had a verbally abusive father that sent me into a genuine depressive cycle for many years. The result of this was I had no desire to work nor did I, when I finally managed to get out of that I went to school originally to learn programming at a college called ITT Tech. The fact that this college is now closed aught to tell you how well I was able to "learn" there. Changed "majors" and learned a practical trade of driving trucks. Started in March and graduated officially in August but here's the problem, despite being one of the top students in my class no one will even consider me.

I'm 32 and yea overweight a fair bit (220), hurt my ankles some years ago in an unrelated accident and was trying to avoid LTL where I'd have to ferry cargo up and down stairs. Although I'm really not sure what to do now because I've paid all my fees, got all my certs and yea... I have no clue what to do at this point or who to go with IF anyone will take me. My ideal position would be no-touch freight and as long as the truck has an APU since I use a dot mandated CPAP doesn't matter if it's an auto, 9speed or even 13. I'd appreciate some assistance... I mean do I have to go flip burgers or something just so they'll hire me to drive bloody trucks!?
