Battle Mountain is the seat of Lander County, with about 3,518 residents in Census ACS estimates, at 4,519 feet along the Humboldt River. Its median age is 34.6, and a move here usually means a working household with a young family. ## One road: I-80 The routing data lists 217.6 miles and 219 minutes, about 3 h 36 min, with about 215 miles on I-80. The straight-line figure is about 168 miles. With one interstate the whole way, the plan is simple: the truck leaves Sparks, follows I-80 east through Fernley and Winnemucca, and reaches Battle Mountain. Winter is the main variable. I-80 across northern Nevada sees snow and wind, and restrictions can apply on some stretches. Check the NDOT road conditions site on the day. NOAA's normals at Battle Mountain show January highs near 46.2 degrees and lows near 22.1, July highs near 99.5, about 9.19 inches of precipitation and about 20.8 inches of snow a year. ## Which authority and which tariff A move between Reno and Battle Mountain is an in-state move, so it falls under the Nevada Transportation Authority. O'Brien's certificate is CPCN 1070. The NTA-approved tariff sets how a move is measured and billed, and your estimator applies it to your household and puts the result in writing. Not sure what that number commits you to? The guide on [binding and non-binding estimates](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/binding-vs-non-binding-estimates/) explains each term in plain language. ## Who is moving to Battle Mountain The Census ACS lists a median household income of $81,857, a median gross rent of $899, a median home value of $203,800 and 27.2 percent of households renting. That income supports a mix of owners and renters. Households usually arrive with a family's worth of furniture, children's gear and a garage of tools. Bikes, trampolines and shop tools are worth listing at the estimate, and the guide to [what movers will not move](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/what-movers-will-not-move/) covers items such as fuel and propane that need handling before moving day. ## Packing, storage and timing Whether you want full packing, partial packing or box packing only, the crew can handle it; see [packing services](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/). If a lease ends before a home closes, [storage between moves](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-between-moves/) holds the household in wooden vaults at the Sparks warehouse, from $40 per month. The free in-home estimate includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes, and your written estimate sets the delivery window.
