Sometimes a driving position will fill that void, sorry to hear of the layoff.
Might be a good idea to read up on the local DMV/CDL requirements, see if you can learn some things from an experienced driver, then you need to get seat time and experience. I think common sense goes a long way with truck driving.
One thing and you may not have a choice depending on where you are, economy etc. is staying local or over the road, I'm not current with how things are over the road, seems like there is a lot less work with large fleet operations. Local, maybe a common carrier, or similar, construction and material suppliers can be good jobs, but you need to have experience, though once you are seasoned, it should not be a problem, though there are some that should never be allowed into a commercial vehicle, most fit in with some training and experience and it will provide a living, the over the road type work is as described, definitely something I knew that I'd not be interested in, too confined I supppose, but some people really like it, so each to their own, might be for one, but not another.
