There are several companies hiring out of the Las Vegas / Henderson Area. I think most just want you to live within 100 - 150 miles of LV. I'm actually planning to move to northern AZ myself after I get my CDL. Some of the recruiters I've talked to wanted me to have a physical address before moving forward, some just wanted me to start CDL school. As soon as I start school i'm going to talk to several more.
CDL:

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.

I'm curious if anyone has had any experience finding a CDL job in the Las Vegas/ Henderson area of NV. Also how difficult was it to transfer your out of state CDL to a NV CDL. I currently live and work out of NJ. Im done with living and working in the Northeast. I do like the company I am with but they don't have a terminal in that part of the country. Ok thanks in advance for any info you can share.

Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
