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

What would happen if you keep your Georgia license, but get rid of the auto restriction? Just until you get your year?
