I'm a 32 year old vet (92Y) who recently came out of a disability (not physically related) and I've so far gotten my self 11 months of solid work history. I hadn't worked for 10 years prior to that. I have no criminal record but I've never held a drivers license in my life (still don't) which also means my driving record is...well it doesn't exist. I have a Vietnamese wife and no children. I'm so eager to get into this industry and start providing for my wife. I can't imagine letting my lack of work history stop me from working, as ironic as that might sound. At this point I'm willing to do anything to get into it. I want to start while I'm still young and healthy. I shudder at the thought of having to work at Foster Farms for 4 more years just to meet some requirement. Please, tell me what my chances are of getting into ANY trucking company in the near future.

How hard is it for a vet with only 11 months of recent work history to get into the trucking industrty?
So in regards to my drivers license, do I actually need to be driving a car around for a year? I have no desire to own a car or to drive one. I prefer biking and longboarding as my mode of transportation. Can I just hold a license and sit on it for a year?
Also. I still suffer from subtle nervous twitches but I've never sought meds to keep that under control because I feel I'm managing it allright. I took lots of meds for depression and anxiety though. I got through the worst of it. I'm currently med free and have been for over a year now. I know there are a lot of guys who came back from the war really messed up and have a hard time finding certain jobs because of their mental health files. I think I'm going to be okay in that department though.
A year is a long time to wait around in my situation. Is it likely that not even Swift would give me a job in the next 6 months?
