Census counts put the flow from Yavapai County to Washoe County at about 91 people a year (2016-2020), against about 13 going the other way, which is a strong lean toward Reno for a small origin. Arizona as a whole sent about 5,504 people to Nevada in 2024. ## The drive: AZ 89, I-40, US 93 and US 95 The routing uses AZ 89 for about 46 miles to get the truck off the Prescott plateau, then I-40 for about 96 miles west, US 93 for about 68 miles north, and US 95 for about 272 miles through central Nevada. The total is about 676 miles. Prescott starts at about 5,300 feet, so winter snow is possible at the very start of the trip as well as at the Nevada end, and a cold-weather departure should check conditions at both ends. At 500 miles a day the map says two days behind the wheel, with a free-flow time of 13 h 12 min. A loaded truck has loading time and a scheduled Sparks arrival, so your written estimate sets the delivery window. Arizona 511 covers the Prescott end, and the Nevada 511 site covers the long run north. The route never touches the Sierra, so the Donner and Echo summit chain controls are not part of the trip. ## Prescott and Reno side by side Prescott averages a January high of 53.3 F and a low of 26.2 F, and Reno averages 47.7 F and 26.1 F. Summer highs are 90.3 F in Prescott and 93.9 F in Reno, so the two feel closer than most Arizona towns do. Prescott averages about 12.9 inches of precipitation a year and Reno about 7.4. The table above uses Census figures for the Prescott Valley-Prescott metro area, with median gross rent of $1,351, a median home value of $425,200 and 24.9 percent of households renting. Reno-Sparks has a median gross rent of $1,592 and a median home value of $502,300. Arizona taxes wages and Nevada does not. ## How the move works with O'Brien's You book the move with O'Brien's, the Bekins Van Lines agent in Sparks, and we coordinate it from your Prescott home through the Bekins network.

August 28, 2024 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. ### Owner's reply Michelle, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We are so happy to hear about the move experience you had with our company and glad to know we met your expectations! It means a lot to us to know that. Thank you for choosing us as your moving partner. S Sonia P. August 4, 2023 Talk about organized people. I peeked in the truck about an hour into the job and was amazed at how well organized it was and how many of my things had protective coverings. Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!! J Jennifer C. August 3, 2023 Customer service, packers, and loaders were very responsive, professional, and did an overall great job. ## Get a long-distance estimate Tell us where you are going.
