Sacramento moves head straight up the I-5 from our Burbank yard, and the load rides one truck the whole way. The long-distance crew Andre puts on the run is the same W-2 team that packs the truck in LA, so nobody hands your boxes to a stranger at a transfer lot. The rate is a single California flat rate, signed before we load, with the Central Valley haul priced door to door.
Route & timing
The whole trip is one interstate, so timing is predictable outside of Grapevine weather.
Flat-rate bands
These are all-in numbers for the drive: crew, truck, fuel, and the mileage up the Valley. Andre pins your spot in the range after a quick video walk of the rooms.
| Home size | LA to Sacramento flat rate |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR | $4,495–$6,395 |
| 2BR | $6,395–$9,200 |
| 3BR | $9,200–$12,800 |
| 4BR+ | $12,800–$15,800 |
Released value is included at $0.60 per pound; step up to full-value coverage under the $1M cargo policy for a higher payout on anything fragile.
What to expect
A one-day Valley run usually falls out like this.
- Morning: crew arrives in LA, wraps furniture, disassembles beds, and tags every carton against the inventory.
- Midday: truck loaded and climbing the Grapevine before the afternoon heat builds in the Valley.
- Late afternoon: arrival in the Sacramento area, with dispatch tracking the truck the whole way north.
- Before we leave: everything placed by room and beds rebuilt, not stacked in the garage.
We run this California long-distance route on our own equipment, so the crew chief on your Sacramento delivery has your number from the first call. Put $100 down to hold the date, or build a line-item quote online. The Los Angeles moving team is on dispatch around the clock at (888) 278-9005.
