If you're planning a move from Tacoma to Nevada, you're working with roughly an 848-mile haul and a cost range that swings pretty significantly depending on your home size and which type of service you choose. I've gone through 63 Tacoma movers that handle state-to-state work and pulled out the five that earn the strongest marks for this corridor. Below you'll find company-by-company breakdowns, real cost estimates across three moving methods, and a practical look at what actually changes when you swap the Pacific Northwest for the Silver State.
Out of 63 Tacoma-area movers equipped for interstate work, here are the five I'd consider for the Tacoma-to-Nevada run:
9413 47th Ave SW Bldg 14 Suite E, Lakewood, WA 98499 84% positive reviews | 12% negative
Mountain has been in business for 62 years — long enough to have worked out most of the hard parts. Across 179 customer reviews, 84% are positive, with consistent praise for efficient and professional crews who handle belongings with care. Where the complaints concentrate: occasional damage and slow claim resolution when something does go wrong. Communication during the claims process is the weak spot. That said, 84% positive on a sample that size is a meaningful indicator.
State license: 885643 | DOT: 885643 | Years in business: 62
Also operates as Mountain Trucking Co Inc.
Services: Local, interstate, international, packing/unpacking, offices, pianos, hot tubs, pool tables, art, antiques, crating, storage, safes. Accepts cash and credit. DOD certified.
Phone: (800) 249-2414
1690 Marine View Dr., Suite D, Tacoma, WA 98422 92% positive reviews | 6% negative
Out of 95 reviews analyzed, 91.6% are positive — one of the higher satisfaction rates among Tacoma movers on this list. Customers consistently point to professional crews, solid communication, and a composed process through what's normally a high-stress situation. The complaints to watch for: a handful of reviews flag unexpected final costs and packing quality that fell short on more complex jobs. Get the pricing locked down in writing before anything gets loaded.
DOT: 2083124 | Years in business: 21
Services: Local, interstate, international, packing/unpacking, offices, pianos, art, antiques, crating, storage. Credit cards accepted.
Phone: (360) 507-2447
7010 150th St SW #102, Lakewood, WA 98439 81% positive reviews | 16% negative
122 years in business. Olympic is one of the oldest movers in the Pacific Northwest, and 81% of 136 reviewed customers report a positive experience — crediting staff professionalism, clear communication, and efficient handling. The 16% negative share is where you need to pay attention: estimates that don't match final bills and damage claims that drag out are the most repeated frustrations. Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed quote before you sign anything.
State license: 1809 | DOT: 586615 | Years in business: 122
Also operates as Olympic Moving & Storage II, LLC.
Services: Local, interstate, international, packing/unpacking, offices, pianos, crating, storage. Credit cards accepted.
Phone: (877) 547-7173
4230 B St NW, Auburn, WA 98001 83% positive reviews | 15% negative
A2B has the largest review volume on this list — 433 pieces of feedback, 80%+ positive. When the sample size gets this large, the rating carries more weight. Customers highlight prompt arrivals, efficient crews, fair pricing, and consistent communication, and repeat customers show up frequently in the reviews. That said, the B- BBB grade and recurring complaints about unresolved damage claims and bills that run higher than quoted are real flags. Get a detailed written estimate and keep a copy of it.
State license: 1941425 | Years in business: 15. DOD certified.
Services: Local, interstate, international, packing/unpacking, offices, pianos, hot tubs, pool tables, art, antiques, crating, storage, safes. Accepts money orders and credit cards.
Phone: (206) 419-5748
2112 109th St S Suite 203, Tacoma, WA 98444 90% positive reviews | 9% negative
PNW is the youngest company on this list at 9 years in, but a 90% positive rate across 241 reviews is a real signal. Customers consistently mention hardworking crews, moves that finish under the estimated time, and accurate pricing. Occasional complaints involve property damage and rare late arrivals — under 10% of total reviews. The C+ BBB grade is worth monitoring, but the Google volume and satisfaction rate tell a solid story overall.
State license: 2919585 | DOT: 2919585 | Years in business: 9
Also operates as PNW Delivery LLC, PNW Moving and Storage LLC, PNW Moving LLC.
Services: Local, interstate, international, packing/unpacking, offices, pianos, art, crating, storage. Credit cards accepted.

Before you call anyone, run your specifics through our moving cost calculator to get a working baseline. Then stack that against the ranges below.
These figures are based on an 848-mile haul from Tacoma to Nevada using pricing data from January 2026. Your actual cost will shift with home size, total inventory, move date, access conditions, and any add-on services.
| Move size | Moving company | Moving container | Rental truck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $1,316 – $4,523 | $741 – $1,763 | $575 – $1,023 |
| 2–3 bedrooms | $2,404 – $6,151 | $1,385 – $2,707 | $604 – $1,167 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $4,285 – $8,416 | $1,718 – $3,331 | $778 – $1,416 |

Studio and one-bedroom moves typically run $1,316–$4,523. Two-to-three bedroom homes land in the $2,404–$6,151 range. Four bedrooms and up comes in at $4,285–$8,416. The spread within each range reflects real variables — how much you own, how accessible both homes are, and whether you're adding packing services. When comparing long-distance movers on this route, push for a binding or not-to-exceed quote so you're comparing actual numbers, not ballpark figures.
Moving containers are worth considering if you want to avoid the full-service price tag without driving a loaded truck 848 miles yourself. For a studio or one-bedroom, plan on $741–$1,763. Two-to-three bedroom moves run $1,385–$2,707. Larger homes — four bedrooms and up — land between $1,718 and $3,331. The company delivers a portable unit, you pack it at your own pace, and they handle the haul to Nevada.
A rental truck is the most affordable option on this chart, but the tradeoff is real — you're doing all the loading, driving, and unloading yourself across an 848-mile stretch. Studio and one-bedroom moves run $575–$1,023. Two-to-three bedroom moves land at $604–$1,167. Four-plus bedrooms cost $778–$1,416. Fuel is already baked into those estimates. If you're price-sensitive but not interested in the drive, containers usually offer a solid middle ground. It's worth browsing cheap movers alongside both options before you commit.
If cost of living is part of what's driving the move, Nevada makes a reasonable case. The overall cost of living is meaningfully lower, and you're not giving up anything on income tax — both states run zero.

Logistics before and after the truck arrives:
On an 848-mile haul, plan for two to seven days total. During peak summer months, delivery windows stretch toward the longer end. Before you book, ask for a written delivery window — the better companies can often narrow it down to a two-day range, which makes your planning at the other end much easier.
Yes — 48 movers in Tacoma list custom crating as an available service. It's worth asking about if you're moving fragile, oversized, or oddly shaped items. Confirm crate dimensions and whether the company will custom-build to your item's specs before you commit.
For auto transport on this route, work with a company that has verified FMCSA credentials and gives you clear carrier details before pickup. Get at least three quotes, and confirm whether the vehicle is moving on an open or enclosed carrier — that distinction matters for pricing and protection.
The most common drivers are cost of living, climate, and recreational access. Nevada's overall cost of living runs about 19% lower than Tacoma's — that's a real budget impact. The sunshine, outdoor opportunities, and proximity to destinations like Lake Tahoe and the national parks draw people who've had enough of Pacific Northwest winters.
Check our vetted list of long-distance movers for carriers that handle interstate hauls from the Pacific Northwest and have a verifiable track record.
Currently 18 Tacoma movers accept cash. That said, cash is increasingly the exception — most carriers prefer traceable payments and digital receipts. Standard process is a deposit to hold your date and crew, with the balance due at pickup or delivery. Confirm acceptable payment methods and exact timing before booking.
