You will need a Nevada commercial driver's license (CDL) before applying for local trucking jobs in Nevada. There are different age requirements to pay attention to when looking at Nevada licensing information for Nevada CDL requirements. Those who wish to move materials within the state only need to be 18 years of age or older. Anyone looking to move across state lines or move hazardous materials must be 21 years of age or older. The final age step is for those who are looking to operate vehicles that are over 70 feet long. These applicants must be 25 years of age or older.

Those applying for a CDL in Nevada are also going to need to prove that your driver’s license is from the state, and that it is current. Those with licenses from other states will need to surrender them and list them for the state. Then, two separate tests will be taken. The written test aims to understand your knowledge, while the drivers test works to understand your driving skills.  Use the free Nevada CDL Manual to study for the written test

Nevada re-licensing information states that those who renew their license may be required to submit new medical information. Renewal must happen every four years, and must be done in person.
