In Elko, 904 residents, 4.4 percent, moved in from another state in the past year, and 101 more came from abroad. O'Brien's estimates, packs and loads an Elko household for an interstate move, and the Bekins network carries it.
Elko is the Elko County seat, with about 20,700 residents and 7,608 households, and it sits 287 miles east of our Sparks yard on I-80. Of every 100 Elko residents, about four arrived from another state in a single year, a rate on par with Fernley and Reno. Elko is a long way from Sparks, and the first job of the estimate is to plan the distance.

What 904 arrivals suggest
The 904 newcomers and 101 from abroad in the Census count tell the same story: Elko draws people from outside Nevada, and the same pull moves some of them on after a few years. About 63 percent of Elko homes are owner occupied, and the median age is 33.2.
For the family leaving, that means a house bought within the last decade, a garage filled with outdoor gear, and an estimate sized to a full household.
Distance and scheduling
Elko is about 4 h 49 min of driving from Sparks, so the in-home visit is planned as a trip. Offer the office a few days when you call 775-359-6683, and ask about a phone ballpark first if timing is tight. The in-home estimate is free, carries no obligation and comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes.
Long-distance moves are priced by weight, and your itemized estimate is in writing.
The I-80 corridor
Elko sits at 5,112 feet and I-80 across northern Nevada sees snow and wind in the cold months. Check Nevada DOT road conditions on loading day, and read the guide to the long-distance moving checklist. For a move out of Northern Nevada, the Bekins network carries the shipment from the point of loading, and your written estimate sets the delivery window.

Moving to Elko and storing between
To move to Elko from another state, you book with O'Brien's and we coordinate the move from your origin through the Bekins network, then deliver and unpack. If your closing slips, wooden vaults at the Sparks warehouse hold your goods, with vault storage from $40 per month. Read about storage between homes.
I was so impressed with the way the crew handled and packed each piece of furniture for short term storage. They were polite and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a move.

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.
