Hawthorne is about 125 miles and 2 h 42 min of driving from the O'Brien's yard in Sparks, a short Nevada run, and the move falls under O'Brien's own CPCN 1070 authority. Both addresses are in Nevada, so the NTA tariff applies.

Data (read 2026-10-19): OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data, free-flow drive from 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks; U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates; NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020.
Hawthorne is the largest community in Mineral County, with about 2,809 residents in Census ACS estimates, at 4,323 feet above sea level near Walker Lake. It is one of the closer Nevada destinations, which keeps the drive short and the planning simple.
The routing data shows 125.3 miles and 160 minutes, about 2 h 42 min of free-flow driving. The roads listed are US-95 for about 32 miles, US-95A for 28, US-95 Alternate for 23 and SR 439 for 19. The straight-line figure is about 93 miles.
A drive this short means the crew leaves the Sparks yard and reaches Hawthorne in under three hours of driving, but the day still includes loading and unloading time, so the length of the whole day comes from your inventory. The estimate lists what is loaded and sets the delivery window in writing. Before travel, check the NDOT road conditions site.
Hawthorne has a median household income of $67,300, a median gross rent of $974, a median home value of $167,900 and 33.2 percent of households renting, with a median age of 40.8, according to the Census ACS. Homes are largely single-family houses, and yards, sheds and detached garages are worth walking at the estimate.
Mention any long walk from the truck to the door, gravel driveways or steps; the estimator wants to know, because they change the planning. A piano or other heavy piece is easier to move when the access is described in advance.
A move from Reno to Hawthorne is an intrastate move. O'Brien's Nevada Transportation Authority certificate, CPCN 1070, is the authority, and the tariff on file with the NTA is the basis for how it is measured and billed. The estimator applies it to your inventory and writes an itemized written estimate.
For a closer look at how estimates are prepared, read how our estimates work. You can also start with a phone ballpark at 775-359-6683, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.
Because the distance is short, partial packing or box packing only suits households that want to handle part of the work themselves. Full packing is there for those who want the whole house done. The free in-home estimate includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes yours to keep.
If the new home is not ready, vault storage in Sparks starts at $40 per month, with about 2 to 3 weeks notice to ship.
