NOTICE: Because of your lack of work history–your first (or second) choice for a carrier may well reject you.
Don’t let those early rejections deter you. Instead–be persistent.
In my case–Knight Transportation shot me down, and so did another carrier.
But……on the third try (isn’t that one usually the charm? 
), I was successful.
The rest….as they say….is history.
If you follow thru with your plan–get ALL of those endorsements, a passport, and a TWIC–you’ll stand out among other applicants, and you’ll get in…..sooner rather than later.
Get all of the above done, and in-hand–& then start applying for jobs.
It’s generally a good idea in the long run if you stay with that first employer at least a year–longer is of course, better.
