About 401 miles inside Nevada. Past the 100-mile local band movers price on distance and weight, but because the truck never crosses a state line the move is regulated by Nevada, not by the federal FMCSA. That changes which licence to check and which estimate rules protect you.

How these figures are calculated
At the Reno end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Reno: Humboldt Moving & Storage Co (Sparks, 27 trucks), Two Men and A Truck of Reno Nevada (Reno, 8 trucks), Gentle Movers (Carson City, 6 trucks), Carneys Full Service Movers (Sparks, 5 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Both ends are in Nevada, so Nevada rather than the FMCSA regulates the move: ask the mover which Nevada licence or registration it holds and check it with the state. The federal 110% cap on non-binding estimates does not reach a move inside Nevada, so your protection on this 401-mile job is the estimate you sign; ask for it binding or not-to-exceed. More in binding vs non-binding estimates.
Before you book Las Vegas to Reno
Ask: dedicated or consolidated?
This is the distance where carriers split. A dedicated truck costs more and delivers on a date; a consolidated load costs less and delivers in a window. Decide which you are buying before you compare prices.
Get it binding or not-to-exceed
A non-binding estimate is a guess with no ceiling. On 401 miles the gap between a guess and a weighed load is measured in four figures.
Arriving in Reno
A local move inside Reno later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $465 – $761 for a two-bedroom home and $777 – $1,398 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Reno are Carson City (about 29 mi), Roseville (about 112 mi), Sacramento (about 130 mi).

Is Las Vegas to Reno an interstate move?
No. Both cities are in Nevada, so the move is regulated by Nevada rather than by the federal FMCSA. The carrier needs a USDOT number and whatever Nevada requires of household-goods movers; interstate authority (an MC number) is not required for this job. The federal 110% rule on non-binding estimates does not apply either, which is a good reason to ask for a binding estimate.
