    It’s more of being out of work for 2 months trying to find a new company. Because we’re trying to recover from moving across country.

    There's several cdl schools in Las Vegas that can help you drop the automatic restriction.

    I already found a school in Vegas that will help me remove it for $1000. I’m trying to see if it’s possible for me to be out of work for 2 months max.

    State taxes tied to driver license?
    States charge a fee. To obtain and renew.

    Las Vegas has plenty of non-driving jobs available to tide you over for a couple of months. Warehouse jobs with FedEx, UPS, Amazon. Might even get a good driving job with those after you convert to Nevada CDL.
     
    Lav-25 and tscottme Thank this.

    Transferring a license from state to state is no issue ( done it at least five times) , getting a restriction off , that one i don't know about .
    If your current company doesn't run west of memphis , then hire on with another .
    There are lots of types of driving jobs out there, once again think out of the box
