That's very hard to do, most experienced drivers jump on local jobs, like me. Maybe look into doing trash truck driving? If you live in NY, it might pay alright. After 6 years OTR, that's what I wanted to do, but it doesn't pay well where I am from. You could also look for roll off driving positions.
Concrete mixing is another decent one, a lot of them will train newbies.
I definitely don't recommend bus driving, especially if you don't want to be someone who wants to deal with customers. Yes, including the whackos. School bus driving might help you feel safer, especially elementary or middle school. You gotta have patience around kids though, it's going to be a lot of repeating yourself to get them to behave (I used to ride with my mom when she drove school bus.)
There are options, but you will be scraping the barrel. My advice, go OTR for at least 3 years. You can do a mega carrier who will train you for a year, then jump to something where you are home more often for the last 2.
