Winnemucca has about 3,444 households and a median age of 33, and it is 163.3 miles and about 2 hours 46 minutes from the O'Brien's warehouse in Sparks on I-80. O'Brien's Moving & Storage serves Winnemucca and Humboldt County.
Winnemucca is the Humboldt County seat and a working town, and the numbers above show a working town with a stable housing market: 61 percent owners, a median home built in 1987 and a median household income near $82,000. It is a full-day run from Sparks, so the plan has to fit a long haul.

A young, working town
With a median age of 33 and Winnemucca households skew toward working families. Most homes are single-family, though a good share, about 41 percent, are not, which includes apartments and manufactured homes. Median rent is $965 and median home value is about $309,000.
These numbers point to three- and four-bedroom houses with garages and yard gear; the in-home estimate lists each and tells you what the load looks like.
163 miles on I-80
The route is I-80 east almost the whole way, with a free-flow time of 166 minutes. A crew reaches Winnemucca in under three hours, so most moves are scheduled as one-way days, sometimes with a pickup in Lovelock or Fernley on the same trip. Watch Nevada 511 for winter closures on the Humboldt corridor.
Winnemucca winters are dry but cold, with snow, ice and wind on I-80. Summers are hot. For a flexible date, use time of year to move guide, and for an unavoidable winter date, plan to start early and leave margin.

A Winnemucca move is booked as a full day, so dates go faster than a local job. Call a few weeks ahead when you can. The office can pair your move with others on the I-80 corridor when schedules match, and the written estimate sets what is included.
Talk about organized people. I peeked in the truck about an hour into the job and was amazed at how well organized it was and how many of my things had protective coverings. Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!!
