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; U.S. Census Bureau, State-to-State Migration Flows (ACS 1-year 2024); U.S. Census Bureau, ACS county-to-county migration flows 2016-2020.
Buffalo is at 611 feet and the Sparks warehouse is at 4,437. The mileage printed on this page is a map planning figure; the routing the carrier network uses is its own decision.
Most of the trip is I-80, which carries 1,968 miles or 81 percent of the map route. The rest is the run from Buffalo to the I-80 corridor, so the planning figures on this page are a good guide to the size of the job.
The straight-line gap is about 2,118 miles and the roads add roughly 320. Each state publishes a 511 page, and NDOT covers Nevada.
Wheel time is about 42 h 18 min, which the planning rule rounds to five days at 500 miles a day. The delivery window in your written estimate is the date to plan around.
Buffalo's January high is 32.1 degrees and its low 19, with 40.7 inches of precipitation a year. Reno's January high is 47.7 and its precipitation is 7.35 inches. Because Buffalo winter weather can slow loading and driveway access, a spring or autumn load date is easier at the origin end.

Extremely happy with the moving experience. The moving team showed up on time, friendly and polite. They did a wonderful job moving our boxes and furniture to the new location. We moved a three bedroom home and I could not be more pleased with the employees who assisted with the move. Highly recommend O'Brien moving for your move.
