Richmond is at 73 feet and the Sparks warehouse is at 4,437. The first 813 miles of the route run on I-64, the same road that carries the Hampton Roads route, so the early part of the trip is a shared corridor. ## 813 miles of I-64 before the real run begins The route runs I-64 for about 813 miles, I-70 for 243 and I-29 for 119, then I-80 for 1,388 miles into Nevada. I-64 alone is nearly a third of the trip. After it, the other three roads are short links to the long western stretch. The straight-line distance is about 2,269 miles and the roads add roughly 395. Check each state's 511 page on the way and NDOT for the Nevada end. ## Six days, one date About 46 h 30 min of wheel time is six days at 500 miles a day. A shipment moves on the carrier network's schedule and the delivery window in your written estimate is the date to plan around. Richmond averages 8.8 inches of snow a year, against 20.9 in Reno, and a July high of 89.5 degrees against 93.9. January highs are 47.8 and 47.7, nearly equal, but Reno's January lows reach 26.1 degrees. ## How the move works with O'Brien's You book with O'Brien's, the Bekins agent in Sparks.
