I drive a truck to support myself at the present time.

If you enjoy using that expertise, have you tried freelance scientific writing? Many magazines can such fluff on pyschology and related issues, and I'm sure you could create a niche.
I know it's food-related, but Cooking Light magazine does run informative mental health/nutrition pieces. Perhaps you could try pitching an idea there? You know all the current trends and patterns of thinking on these issues -- go for it!
