The Twin Cities have a cold January, with an average low of 8.8 degrees. The route runs 800 miles on Interstate 80 and 540 on Interstate 90. This page covers the Minnesota side: the rules, the taxes and the cold. ## Minnesota's 60-day windows Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services lists 60 days for a new resident to register a vehicle, and the state statute lets a person with a valid out-of-state license drive in Minnesota for 60 days after becoming a resident. Sixty days is generous, but registration needs the title, so gather paperwork before the truck leaves. ## Minnesota taxes The Minnesota Department of Revenue lists tax year 2026 income tax rates of 5.35, 6.80, 7.85 and 9.85 percent, with the top bracket starting at $203,151 for a single filer. The state general sales tax is 6.875 percent, and local taxes are added. Nevada collects no individual income tax, so the change in take-home pay is real for most households. ## The cold, in NOAA numbers NOAA's normals for Minneapolis-St. Paul International show a January high of 23.6 degrees and low of 8.8, a July high of 83.4 and low of 65.3, 31.6 inches of precipitation and 51.2 inches of snow a year. The airport is near 866 feet above sea level. A winter load needs extra planning for the driver and for your own arrival, with a heated entry and a clear driveway. ## Twin Cities housing The American Community Survey puts the city of Minneapolis at a median home value of $362,200, median gross rent of $1,371 and a renter share of 52.3 percent. The Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington metro has a median home value of $374,000 and rent of $1,440. Census flows for 2016-2020 are small in both directions between Hennepin County and Washoe County. ## How O'Brien's handles the Minneapolis route You hire O'Brien's, the Bekins agent in Sparks. An estimator visits for a free in-home estimate and leaves 10 free heavy-duty boxes. We pack and load in Northern Nevada and the Bekins network carries the shipment to Minnesota. Your written estimate sets the delivery window. Winter arrivals in the Twin Cities may benefit from vault storage from $40 per month in Sparks, so delivery waits for a safe day.
