Redding is 530 feet above sea level at the north end of the Sacramento Valley, and its road to Reno does not use I-80. The truck heads east into the Cascades and the high desert instead. ## CA 44, CA 36 and US 395 The route block shows 105 miles of CA 44, 10 miles of CA 36, 64 miles of US 395 and 17 miles of I-580. The truck leaves Redding toward Lassen County, comes onto US 395 near Susanville and follows it south along the Nevada border to Reno. The road distance is 198 miles against 155 in a straight line. There is no Sierra summit on the way, so no pass is listed, but the road climbs and runs through rural country in Shasta and Lassen counties, where elevations are above 4,000 feet and winter storms can close CA 44 and CA 36 temporarily. ## Rural roads in winter Redding records about 34 inches of precipitation and nearly 3 inches of snow at the airport, but the highlands to the east get far more. Check Caltrans QuickMap for California chain controls, and NDOT once the truck enters Nevada. Allow extra time between November and March. The [winter moving guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-in-winter/) explains how a crew builds in weather days. ## Redding and Reno compared Redding city has about 93,000 residents, a median household income near $70,466, a median gross rent near $1,379 and a median home value near $382,300 in the American Community Survey. Reno city's medians are $80,760, $1,556 and $548,300. Housing is higher in Reno, so many Redding households downsize or rent first. Redding's July high averages almost 100, hotter than Reno's 94, but its winters are milder. The Census shows few moves between Shasta and Washoe counties, with margins larger than the estimates, so the data say only that people move both ways. ## How O'Brien's coordinates the move You book with O'Brien's, and we coordinate the move from your Redding home through the Bekins network. O'Brien's delivers, unpacks and stores in Sparks. Estimates are itemized and in writing. Downsizing households can use the [senior moves and downsizing](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/reno/senior-moving/) service, which helps with de-cluttering. ## Next steps Read [moving to Reno from California](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/from-california/), then request a [free in-home estimate](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/free-estimate/). ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [Caltrans QuickMap](https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/) - [NDOT Nevada Roads](https://www.nvroads.com/) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) ### Licensed movers U.S. DOT No. 30611 MC-109375 Nevada CPCN 1070 Cal PUC T-90973 (as published by O'Brien's) Bekins Van Lines interstate agent since 1955 [Check our USDOT record](https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp?searchtype=ANY&query_type=queryCarrierSnapshot&query_param=USDOT&query_string=30611) · [Ready to Move?
