Distance is not the same as price or schedule. Long-distance moves are priced by weight, and your delivery window comes from your written estimate. For route pages with both ends of the move, see long-distance routes or try the route lookup.
The miles and minutes come from a routing model on OpenStreetMap road data, starting at the Glendale Avenue address. The model returns the quickest road route at posted speeds. Real drives run longer in snow, in a Friday-afternoon jam, or when a truck stops for fuel and rest.
A moving truck is also slower than a car on grades, so the minutes here are best used to compare places with each other, not as a schedule.
The table does not include loading time, road work, chain controls or the number of crew members needed, and it says nothing about price. The main-road labels in the last column list the roads the route follows, not turn-by-turn directions.

What customers say about O'Brien's
Greg S.
3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again.
Thanks for the great review Greg! We really appreciate you taking the time to do that for us. We look forward to working with you again!
Bruce E.
My family moved exclusively with Bekins when I was young and O'Brien's made it a pleasure to return to this fine local company. I would be pleased to have any members of O'Brien's as friends and highly recommend O'Brien's to anyone needing the services they provide!
Bruce thank you so much for taking the time to review our company. It was an extreme pleasure to work for you, please do not hesitate to call us for any help you need in the future.
