Long-distance moving from Fallon

Fallon is the Churchill County seat, about 61 miles east of Sparks on US 50 Alternate and I-80, and it has a young population: a median age of 35.5 across about 9,500 residents. About 16 percent of residents moved in the past year, one of the higher turnover rates in our rural towns. Households come and go with work, school and the Navy, so Fallon sees steady interstate traffic.

Fallon's mobile households

The Census counts 346 Fallon residents who lived out of state a year earlier, and 40 who lived abroad. With 16.3 percent moving in the past year and about half of homes rented (49.3 percent renters), Fallon has more short stays than the other Lyon and Churchill County towns. Renters move lighter loads on tighter schedules.

A short lease and a firm job start leave little room for rework, so the estimate visit is where timing is settled.

Estimate, inventory, truck

An estimator drives about 61 miles from Sparks, longer than the trip for most customers, so mention your preferred time of day when you book. The in-home estimate is free and ends with 10 free heavy-duty boxes. Long-distance moves are priced by weight, and the itemized estimate is in writing.

Before packing starts on a long-distance move, the crew makes an itemized inventory and condition report. The Bekins network carries the shipment to your next state, and your written estimate sets the delivery window.
