As the economy of Nevada and the entire country continues to bounce back, the demand for truck drivers is expected to increase. This may lead to an 18% swell in jobs through the year 2022 in Nevada (O*Net, 2014). Each year, this works out to over 300 new jobs (O*Net, 2014). One benefit of working in Nevada is the high salary range enjoyed by tractor-trailer drivers. O*Net reports a statewide average salary of $46,400 per year, which is almost $7000 more than the national median.

There are several things you can do to possibly increase your earning potential. If you work in an area where truck drivers are in high demand, you may be eligible for a sign-on bonus. Some companies pay over-the-road drivers more, as these drivers must be away from home more.

The job outlook in Nevada is extremely positive. Between 2010 and 2020, O*Net, expects the amount of job openings for truck drivers to increase by 23% (O*Net, 2012). This growth rate is over two times higher than the national average (O*Net, 2012). During each year in this time frame, you may see almost 400 new job openings (O*Net, 2012).

You may find job openings at many different truck driving companies in Nevada, including local companies and national companies. Significant employers include Earl L. Henderson Trucking, Interstate Distributor Company, C.R. England, and Groendyke Transport.
Legally, the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles does not require you to attend a truck driving training course before earning a commercial driver’s license. However, a trucking training course can give you the behind-the-wheel skills you need to pass your skills exam with flying colors. Programs in Nevada tend to last between three and six weeks, depending on whether you want to drive a straight truck or tractor-trailer.

The licensure process in Nevada is fairly straightforward. You can go to the Department of Motor Vehicles and apply for a commercial driver’s license. Once you have paid your fees and passed the vision test, you can take the written test. The written test covers everything in the Commercial Driver’s Manual. If you pass your written test, you’ll be allowed to take the skills exam. You can then get a CDL that is good for four years.

It’s important to be part of the trucking industry at large. Building connections with truckers and other professionals in the industry can help you learn about legislative changes in Nevada, find out about new job openings, and learn about compliance laws. As a new truck driver, consider joining the Nevada Trucking Association.

The Nevada Trucking Association has a long list of resources for truck drivers. They keep an updated list of government affairs and legislative changes as well as a Driver Hall of Fame. You can also get involved with this organization by becoming part of the Legislative Action Center.
