Have you tried applying to distribution and freight firms like Fedex, UPS, USPS, Wal-Mart for transportation supervisor/manager jobs?

If you stay related to what you have done, you stand a better chance of getting a job faster.

Right now the Tour Industry is looking for drivers all over the country. Past experience as a truck driver is a huge plus!
Contact all the Tour Bus Companies and submit your resume to them,
A lot nicer hauling happy people than the loneliness of truck driving.
