“We were moving with our newborn, and the move wasn't too far, and the time had to be right. The people were all very accommodating, but not hasty. They even set up the crib at the new location before we moved in, so we could put her to sleep there that day! Considerate in all respects!”

“I hired this company for an intrastate movie from Nevada to Springtown Texas. The contract was signed as the binding Bill of Landing on 6-5-25 and the first delivery date was 6-7-25. I have asked continually for updates and have been told that it's illegal to provide them to me. The bill of landing…”

“Upon reaching my new home, the moving truck ran out of gas. The movers assumed that I would be responsible for covering the cost of recharging. A four-hour delay also occurred with my delivery. Wholly inappropriate!”
What went wrong on this run: of 28 reviews, 43% mention damage and 36% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
Those are headcounts, not a story about why anyone packed a truck.
Census counts both directions. ACS 2024 counts 6,147 people who moved from Nevada to Texas, with a margin of plus or minus 2,007. The reverse flow is larger: 8,327 people moved from Texas to Nevada. Those are headcounts, not a story about why anyone packed a truck.
Prices and wage tax differ slightly. BEA price parity for 2024 puts Nevada at 100.0 and Texas at 97.1, with the US set at 100. Neither state taxes wages, so the paycheck side of the move has no state wage tax at either end. A lower index does not tell you what your own rent or groceries will be.
What the job looks like
Delivery is a window written on the order for service, not a promise of a single hour.
The common run is long. The most common trip in our file is Las Vegas to Houston, 1,420 miles and about 26 hours of driving, so the truck is out more than one day. Long-distance household moves are priced by weight and miles. Delivery is a window written on the order for service, not a promise of a single hour.
Reported prices sit in a wide band. The review file for this lane is small, at 28 reviews. Median reported price is $4,900 across 28 priced reviews. The middle half runs from $3,150 to $7,450. Prices mix home sizes and distances, so read the median as a marker, not a bid.
Damage and delays show up in the file. Of those reviews, 43% mention damage and 36% mention a delay or a no-show. Read both shares as flags on this run, then ask how claims and missed windows are handled before you sign. Haulest is not a carrier and will not book the truck for you.
Before you book
Put the delivery window on the order for service, in writing, before the truck leaves.
Check the license before the quote. Interstate household moves need a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Look the number up before you talk price on a Nevada to Texas job. A license lookup takes less time than unpacking a surprise.
Get the price form in writing. Ask for a binding estimate or a not-to-exceed estimate, and read it with the estimate guide. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver when you pay 110 percent of the estimate. The 110 percent rule is the cap you should know before pickup day.
Write down the window and the deposit. Put the delivery window on the order for service, in writing, before the truck leaves. Deposit terms belong on that same paperwork, including when the money is due and whether it is refundable. Read the deposit guide before you send any funds.
