Should I wait to transfer license over to new state in order to gain more experience?

My wife and I just relocated to Nevada from Georgia because she got a great job offer working in the medical field. I told my FM that we were moving to Nevada and he told me if I wanted to continue working for the company I cant transfer my license to the new state because of taxes and that the company has no yards on the West Coast.

The issue I'm having is I been with this company for 6 months now. I was trying to hold out until I hit 1year with this company. But I don't want to look like a job hopper to other companies if I quit after 6 months. Do I just hold off for another 6-7 months on transferring my license for experience? The wife says I should hold off for another 6 months because she's afraid that I'm going to be out of work for 2 months trying to find a local job.

I already have 3 +years of OTR driving experience, plus 1yr of tanker experience. I also have a auto restriction on my license. I was planning on transferring my license over to Nevada, get a permit to take the test in a manual. But I have to wait 2 weeks before I'm able take the DMV test. Lot of the local jobs out here been denying me because of this restriction.

 

We settled in Vegas, I applied to a few companies you told me about but most of them said no because of this restriction.

 

I’m guessing because Georgia has state taxes and Nevada doesn’t?
