Nevada is long and mostly empty, and moving across it takes a mover who knows the roads. From the warehouse in Sparks, the crew can reach Fernley and Fallon to the east, Lovelock and Winnemucca along Interstate 80, Elko beyond them, and Tonopah to the south. Las Vegas is also on our Google listing as part of the Nevada service area.

The authority behind an in-state move

Moving household goods within Nevada requires a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the Nevada Transportation Authority under NRS Chapter 706. The NTA published a notice in January 2018 naming O'Brien's Moving & Storage, Inc. as a household goods mover under CPCN 1070. Intrastate movers charge from a tariff approved by the NTA, and the tariff is a public document.

Where in-state moves go

The most common Nevada moves from Reno and Sparks go to Carson City, the Carson Valley, Fernley and Fallon, and moves also run to Elko, Winnemucca, Lovelock and Tonopah. The pages for rural Nevada and Fernley, Fallon and Lyon County describe those towns. For the long haul south, see Reno to Las Vegas and Las Vegas to Reno.

Distances on Nevada highways

Winter and wildfire season both change travel plans in Nevada. Interstate 80 carries most east-west traffic, and US 395 and US 95 carry most north-south traffic. The Nevada Department of Transportation posts road conditions at NVRoads, and your crew lead checks them before a long haul. Use the route lookup for the drive distance between Reno and your destination.

What the estimate covers

Your estimator visits the home, itemizes the contents and writes up the estimate. A move across Nevada can also include packing, crating, storage in Sparks and unloading at the other end. Ask the estimator how the move will be priced and what the crew will do at each address.

Moves that cross the state line

A move that leaves Nevada for California or any other state is an interstate move under federal authority, U.S. DOT No. 30611 and MC-109375. Read interstate moving for those rules.

What customers say about O'Brien's

Judy H.

I was so satisfied and impressed with O'Brien. My move went perfectly. If I have another move, it will be O'Brien for sure!!

Owner's reply

WE ARE THRILLED TO HEAR THE MOVE WENT SO WELL!!!! Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to let us know.

Francie H.

We were referred to O'Brien's Moving and Storage though a friend in Reno. We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future.

Owner's reply

Francie, Thank you for this amazing review. The result you have expressed is exactly what we all strive to accomplish. I love that you walked away knowing you are now a part of the O'Brien's family, whenever you need us we are a phone call away! I will let the movers know about the kind words expressed about them, that will be very satisfying for all of them. We will look forward to any referrals you send our way, thank you for the opportunity!
