I-80 has an 80 mph limit. No way this is an hour drive.

Obviously you don’t live in the area. The 80 MPH starts out past Lovelock. They lowered the rate between Fernley and Sparks because of the accidents. It is now 65 and has been for at least a year or two. And during ice and snow it is frequently closed, forcing the Carson City-Dayton route if the road between Reno and Carson City is open. And going that way around is 1-1/2 to 2 hours. I’ve lived here since 2014 and have traveled both routes extensively for work—we couldn’t keep people working because of the long problematic commute and low pay. That is why companies out there are always hiring, because of high turnover.

Why don't you move to one of those new apartments by the Costco, get a job at Tesla or Amazon or one of the other companies out there, and enjoy the commute for a year. Will you last a year? Doubt it.

It's a job many try, but quickly quit. For the unskilled, there are many better paying jobs locally without the commute. Last I saw Chewy was paying in the upper 20s per hour. I heard some fast food places are paying close to $30 per hour in Reno.
