Is Las Vegas a dead zone for trucking?

Plenty of work there just not the highest paying region.
Try a unionized freight outfit for national wages or maybe a SLC or L.A. carrier that can let you run 4 or 5 days a week between them if you do not want OTR work and want to be home weekends.
We've pondered retiring there and I've been looking at the job market there since before the pandemic.

Does Walmart have a DC anywhere in the southern Nevada area ???
What Walmart DC's feed southern Nevada ? I know there's one outside of Reno but Las Vegas is much closer to Southern California. I bet you could get a Walmart driving job living in South Nevada , Walmart seems to be hurting for drivers.

 

I see Knight trucks delivering here, out of Arizona. I think they're out of Buckeye, AZ

 

I never had issues finding loads out to LA and then doing east coast run and back. It’s not the best paying freight but you’ll get out in a dry van. Even Power Only you’ll find a trailer that pays enough for diesel to head to LA for a load.
