West Wendover sits at 4,525 feet on the Utah border, with about 4,514 residents in Census ACS estimates. The town is in Nevada, though its neighbor across the line, Wendover, is in Utah, and that small difference decides which authority covers your move. ## Why the state line matters A move between Reno and West Wendover stays inside Nevada, so it runs on Nevada Transportation Authority CPCN 1070 and the NTA-approved tariff. A move to Wendover, Utah is a different case. It crosses a state line, so it is an interstate move under federal authority, where O'Brien's holds U.S. DOT No. 30611 and MC-109375. The [how an interstate move works](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/how-interstate-moves-work/) guide covers that route. Give the estimator the exact delivery address, including the state, so the estimate names the right authority. West Wendover also keeps Mountain time in daily use, an hour ahead of Reno, which is worth remembering when you schedule a delivery appointment. ## The drive: I-80 east The routing data lists 393.5 miles and 389 minutes, about 6 h 30 min, with about 390 miles on I-80. Straight-line distance is about 312 miles. The truck follows the interstate east through Winnemucca, Battle Mountain and Elko, then runs to the state line. The route lists no mountain passes, but I-80 across Nevada can see winter storms, and the NDOT road conditions site should be checked before each travel day. NOAA's normals at the Wendover airport station show January highs near 35.1 degrees, lows near 19.6, July highs near 92.5 and about 3.6 inches of precipitation a year. ## Who lives in West Wendover The Census ACS shows a median household income of $49,013, a median gross rent of $611, a median home value of $139,700 and a median age of 40.4. Notably, 43.8 percent of households rent, a high share, so many moves are apartment moves with elevators, stairs and shared parking lots. Describe those at the estimate, since they change the loading plan. For renters, lease dates can leave a gap. [Storage between moves](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-between-moves/) holds the household in wooden vaults in Sparks, starting at $40 per month, with about 2 to 3 weeks notice to ship. ## From estimate to delivery The free in-home estimate in your Reno-area home includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes, and the written estimate is itemized and in writing.

F Francie H. February 20, 2026 We were referred to O'Brien's Moving and Storage though a friend in Reno. We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future. ### Owner's reply Francie, Thank you for this amazing review.
