Long-distance moving from Lovelock

Lovelock is the Pershing County seat on I-80, about 91 miles and a drive of roughly an hour and a half east of our Sparks yard. It is one of the smallest places we serve, with 587 households, so the 42 residents who arrived from other states are a visible handful. When a Lovelock household moves out of state, it is usually a longtime resident whose home holds decades of belongings.

The scale of a small town move

With about 54 percent of homes owner occupied, a median home built in 1985 and and a median home value well below Reno's, Lovelock houses are modest and the lots are often large. Garages, sheds and yards hold much of the weight, and a rural lot often adds a workshop, a trailer or a stack of firewood that belongs on the estimate. The estimator lists outbuildings alongside the rooms, because everything loaded on a truck counts toward a long-distance price.

Our moving inventory guide shows how to list what you own before the visit.

The I-80 trip

The estimator drives I-80 from Sparks. Because Lovelock is far from the Truckee Meadows, book the visit early and keep your preferred day flexible. The in-home estimate is free, carries no obligation and comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes. The an itemized written estimate.

Moving out and moving in

For a move out of Northern Nevada, O'Brien's handles the estimate, packing and loading, and the Bekins network carries the shipment. For a move to Lovelock, you book with O'Brien's and we coordinate it from your origin through the Bekins network, then deliver and unpack. Long-distance moves are priced by weight, and your written estimate sets the delivery window.

Storage while you wait

If your next home is not ready, wooden vaults, 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, wait in the Sparks warehouse with about 2 to 3 weeks notice to ship. Many Lovelock households use a few weeks of storage when a sale and a purchase close on different days. Read about how vault storage works. Vault storage starts at $40 per month.
