Moving Tips

A successful move starts with preparation. Whether you’re relocating across Greater Sacramento or heading out of state, these practical tips can help your move with Yolo Transfer Moving & Storage go more smoothly:
1. Start Planning Early Give yourself plenty of time to plan and prepare. Start packing a few weeks in advance, especially for non-essential items, and make a moving checklist to stay organized.
2. Sort and Declutter Moving is the perfect time to downsize. Donate or recycle items you no longer need—it’ll reduce packing time and help lower your overall moving costs.
3. Label Boxes Clearly Mark each box with its contents and the room it belongs in. Use color-coded tape or stickers to make it easy for the movers (and yourself) to know where everything goes.
4. Protect Fragile Items Wrap delicate belongings with packing paper, bubble wrap, or towels, and clearly mark boxes as “Fragile.” This ensures our crew gives those items the extra care they need.
5. Pack an Essentials Box Set aside a box with items you’ll need right away—like toiletries, chargers, basic tools, snacks, and a change of clothes. Keep this box with you during the move.
6. Measure Ahead of Time Before moving day, measure doorways and stairwells at your new location to ensure that large furniture will fit. This prevents surprises and delays during unloading.
7. Let the Professionals Help Our experienced team is here to make your move easier. From packing to transport to final delivery, Yolo Transfer Moving & Storage is ready to handle the details so you don’t have to.
By following these tips, you’ll stay more organized and feel more in control throughout your move. And with Yolo Transfer Moving & Storage handling the logistics, you can focus on settling into your new home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sacramento moving companies have diverse pricing structures that can vary depending on many different factors. Scheduling an in-home or virtual quote is often the most reliable way to get an accurate quote from your mover. According to MoveBuddha, “The typical cost for hiring movers in Sacramento, CA is $130 per hour with a total move cost ranging from $478 to $4,288, on average. If you’re moving out of California, the cost of hiring long-distance movers in Sacramento really depends on where you’re moving.” At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, as trusted Sacramento movers since 1973, we guarantee transparent and accurate pricing with no hidden fees. To avoid inaccurate quotes, we offer both in-home and virtual survey options. These surveys enable our team to accurately assess your belongings and understand the specific requirements of your move more accurately. “Since 1973, we have been committed to honest and timely moving services with clear and fair pricing,” assures our owner, Josh Tracy.” Request your free quote today.

Yes, Sacramento moving companies generally provide free quotes detailing their costs and services. However, it’s important to check for fees and additional charges that may be hidden within your costs. If a moving company doesn’t offer free quotes, that is a clear indication that the moving company is unreliable and untrustworthy. This Forbes article recommends, “Check to see if the moving company you’re using has a website. Smaller companies may complete moving quotes over email, phone, or in person.” Get quotes from at least three different movers in Sacramento before you settle on just one company. At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, our comprehensive quotes ensure you have all the information you’ll need to choose the right mover. Our quoting services detail all costs and services involved in your move, ensuring there are no hidden fees or costs. “Transparency is key to our customer satisfaction, which is why we include everything from labor to packing materials in our quotes,” notes our owner, Josh Tracy.

Most full-service Sacramento moving companies provide local and long-distance moving services. However, it’s important that you verify this with the company first, as some companies only travel up to a certain distance. This Forbes article explains, “A local move is one that generally stays within a radius of 50 miles—a move that extends beyond that distance would be considered a long-distance move, even if it’s still within the same state.” It’s also crucial to check for a valid state and USDOT license. A USDOT license ensures the company follows state, federal, and industry regulations. At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, our team is experienced in handling local and long-distance moves. As a select interstate agent of Bekins Van Lines, you can count on us to provide exceptional services and expertise during your long-distance move. With our commitment to excellence, you can trust us to handle every aspect of your move with the utmost care. Our license numbers are Bekins USDOT #2256609 and California IM#256 (State License). “Our partnership with Bekins Van Lines ensures top-notch service and seamless coordination for all long-distance moves,” highlights our owner, Josh Tracy.

Packing services are almost always an add-on option with Sacramento Movers. Although they are an additional cost, packing services can save you valuable time and energy during your move. Moving.com notes, “[For professional packers], packing isn’t a once-in-a-blue-moon activity for them — it’s their job. As such, they can pack more efficiently and effectively than most of us.” It’s important to note that not all moving companies offer packing services, so be sure to check beforehand. Packing prices can vary depending on the value, quantity, and size of your belongings. To avoid any surprises, we strongly advise getting a quote in advance. At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, as a full-service Sacramento moving company, we offer you comprehensive packing and unpacking services and quality packing materials. Our packing team will arrive at your home a few days before your move to start packing your items. We use high-quality materials like bubble wrap, moving blankets, and sturdy boxes to ensure all your items are well-protected. Our packing services are tailored to align with the unique requirements of your move, giving you a personal moving experience. “Our expertly trained crew uses the best supplies to ensure even the most fragile items are secure,” emphasizes our owner, Josh Tracy. To learn more, check out our Packing Services Page.

Sacramento moving companies are required to obtain a state license for local moves and a USDOT license for long-distance moves. According to Moving.com, “All professional interstate moving companies should have a license number issued by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT).” A USDOT license allows moving companies to operate and provide transportation services across state lines. These regulations ensure the safety of both the clients and their belongings, as well as maintain industry standards and protect customers’ rights. Confirm their USDOT license using the Federal Mover’s Database Lookup, and look for their state license as well. At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, we are fully licensed and insured. We operate under USDOT license number 2256609 as an interstate agent for Bekins Van Lines. Our California state license is IM256, and our MC license number is 770031. Yolo also maintains general liability and workers’ comp insurance to protect everyone. “We are committed to transparency and safety, which is why we proudly display all our licenses and insurance details,” states our owner, Josh Tracy.

Yes, it’s a common practice for Sacramento moving companies to hire seasonal movers during peak seasons. However, it’s vital to only prioritize moving companies with a dedicated, trained, and experienced crew. Avoid companies that have a history of relying on temporary movers, as they may lack experience in handling your belongings. Moving.com adds, “Trade associations vet companies before giving them a membership or approved seal. Look for a moving company carrying the [American Trucking Associations] ProMover logo.” At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, unlike some other movers in Sacramento, we truly care for the people we work with. Our moving team comprises highly trained, experienced professionals committed to delivering a first-rate moving experience. Our team is also completely background-checked, ensuring the utmost security and trustworthiness throughout the moving process. We are proud to be certified by the ProMover program by the American Trucking Associations, as well as the California Moving & Storage Association, which helps consumers identify reputable movers who meet high standards. “Since 1973, we have focused on building a team of professionals who share our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction,” notes our owner, Josh Tracy. Learn more on our About Us page.

Choosing a reputable and well-established Sacramento moving company ensures you a smooth and reliable moving experience. To ensure that you choose a high-quality moving company, take the time to read reviews from previous customers. Focus on recent reviews, especially Google Reviews, as they are more likely to reflect the current state of the company’s services and team. Positive reviews that highlight professionalism, reliability, and customer satisfaction are great signs in a moving company. Also, keep an eye out for fake reviews. Consumer Reports advises, “If a reviewer always gives five stars and uses similar language for different reviews, those may be fake or paid for.” At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, our 4.8/5 star review on Google stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional Sacramento moving services. As the official moving partner of the Sacramento Kings, we pride ourselves on bringing the same level of excellence and dedication to our moving services as the Kings do to the court. Our goal is to maintain the trust of our customers by consistently providing top-quality services. We have been serving the Sacramento community since 1973, consistently earning positive feedback for our professionalism and reliability. “Our high rating reflects our dedication to professionalism and customer satisfaction,” remarks our owner, Josh Tracy.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration simply states, “Your mover is responsible for the value of the goods you asked them to transport.” Federal regulations require all moving companies to offer basic liability coverage at no additional charge. This type of coverage provides 60 cents per pound per item of coverage. This valuation, however, only satisfies some customers, which is why most movers in Sacramento also offer full value protection at an additional cost. Full value protection is often used when moving fragile items, as it ensures that the moving company will either repair the item, replace it, or refund you the fair market value for any items lost or damaged during the move. At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, we offer both limited and full-value protection options. This allows you the flexibility to choose how you want to be covered in the unlikely event of damaged or lost items. We also maintain general liability and workers’ compensation insurance to ensure all aspects of your move are covered. “We prioritize the safety of your belongings and offer various coverage options to suit your needs,” explains our owner, Josh Tracy.

Awesome company! They moved everything for my husband and I, from the one-story house we were staying at to our third floor apartment (without an elevator)! Very professional packing and moving, protected all our furniture the entire time, and just overall did an excellent job.

Holly Jacobson12/13/24

We used Yolo Transfer for a local move. We had bids from three companies and Yolo Transfer was the most thoughtful and reasonable. Communication throughout the process was excellent. The team of movers were so respectful of our furnishings, and approached the work with care. I would use Yolo Transfer again, without question.

Donald Livingstone12/12/24
