Movers from Oakland
to Sacramento
Oakland to Sacramento is about 82 road miles. Ontrack Moving® runs it out of its Hayward yard, on the same side of the Bay as your pickup, with its own trucks and its crew. No bridge between our yard and your door, no broker between you and the truck.
Moving + Storage under one roof, one company, one point of contact When you book Ontrack, Ontrack shows up at both ends.
Who moves households from Oakland to Sacramento with their own trucks and crews?
As of September 2026, Ontrack Moving® moves households from Oakland to Sacramento as an asset-based carrier: it owns the trucks, runs the moves and holds USDOT #2551548 and California license CAL-T190721. That matters because some companies that answer a moving quote request are brokers, who arrange the job with a separate carrier. With Ontrack Moving® the company on your estimate is the company on your truck, from the Oakland pickup to the Sacramento delivery.
Ontrack Moving® works out of a yard in Hayward, in the East Bay, and carries a DOT inspection record that exceeds the national average under FMCSA inspection. The Combined Protection Tower covers building liability; it does not cover your belongings. From January 2023 to May 2026, Ontrack Moving® completed 157 moves from the Bay Area to the Sacramento area, and the most common pickup cities were Hayward and San Francisco, followed by Fremont, Dublin, Pleasanton, Oakland, Walnut Creek and Alameda.

The Oakland end
Oakland Hills Driveways, Walk-Ups and the Crew Size They Call For
Oakland pickups range from flat-lot bungalows to hillside homes with steep, narrow driveways, and from third-floor walk-ups to loft buildings. The estimate has to account for which one you live in.
Hillside homes
Oakland Hills homes with steep driveways may call for a larger crew or a smaller truck with more trips. We look at the access during the walkthrough, so the crew and truck in the estimate are the ones that fit your street.
An East Bay yard
Our Hayward yard at 22950 Clawiter Rd is in the East Bay, the same side of the Bay as Oakland. An Oakland pickup starts without a bridge crossing, and storage is close by if your Sacramento dates slip.
One company, both ends
The crews that wrap and load your furniture in Oakland and unload it in Sacramento are Ontrack crews. There is no transfer to another company partway and no subcontracted team at the delivery.
An East Bay Carrier or a Broker?
A broker takes your booking and hands the work to someone else. A carrier shows up with its own truck. Ask any Oakland to Sacramento quote which of the two it is, and check the answer against the USDOT and California license numbers.
| Question | Ontrack, the carrier | Broker arrangement |
|---|---|---|
| Where the truck comes from | Our Hayward yard, on the East Bay side with your pickup | Wherever the carrier that accepts the job is based |
| Who carries the dresser down the driveway | Ontrack crews, the same company at the Oakland and Sacramento ends | Whoever the carrier sends, possibly unnamed until moving day |
| Responsibility | Ontrack Moving® alone, under USDOT #2551548. The Combined Protection Tower is building liability; it does not cover belongings | Divided between the broker and the carrier it hired |
| Inspection record | DOT inspection record that exceeds the national average, checkable by USDOT number | Tied to a hauler picked after you book |
| Pricing | A walkthrough of the driveway and stairs before the number is written down | Depends on which carrier ends up with the job |
| A yard you can visit | 22950 Clawiter Rd, Hayward, CA, with storage for a Sacramento closing that slips | Storage depends on the carrier it hires |
Ontrack Moving®: USDOT #2551548, MC #889001, California household goods license CAL-T190721. No other company touches the load between Oakland and the Sacramento area.

The route
82 Miles From the East Bay to Sacramento
A short in-state run where the access at both ends shapes the day more than the highway does.
How the Day Runs
Stage 1. Load in Oakland: Floors covered with Neoprene runners, Masonite boards on tile and marble, padded guards on doorways and banister wraps on staircases. Furniture is pad-wrapped and upholstery shrink-wrapped.
Stage 2. Timing the start: East Bay commute hours are worth planning around, so we set the start time with you.
Stage 3. On the road: It is a short run by our standards, which is why most Sacramento-area deliveries finish on the loading day.
Stage 4. Delivery: Unloading at the new address in Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville or nearby, with beds and tables put back together.
Same Day, or Split in Two
Two schedules cover almost every move on this lane. A smaller home goes out of Oakland and into the new place on the same day. A full house loads one day and unloads the next.
In our Motive truck logs, October 2024 to September 2026, 52 of the 63 trips tied to booked Bay Area to Sacramento moves pulled into the Sacramento area on the day they loaded.
The size of the home sets the schedule. In the Oakland Hills, a steep driveway and long stairs add loading time on top of that, so the walkthrough measures both and the estimate puts the schedule in writing.
Treat any delivery time as a target; it is not a guarantee.
Distance: OSRM road routing, September 2026. Trip counts are Ontrack Motive ELD logs, October 2024 to September 2026, counting truck movements, not customer moves.
How it works
From an Oakland Driveway to a Sacramento-Area Door
See the Driveway
The walkthrough, in person or on video, covers the rooms, the driveway grade and every stair. The estimate then names the crew, the truck, the billing and the schedule.
Pick the Truck
A steep or narrow driveway can mean a smaller truck or a bigger crew. That choice gets made at the estimate, weeks before anyone is standing in the street.
Load in Oakland
Runners on the floors, guards on the door frames, pads on the furniture. Bed frames and table legs come off before they go down the stairs.
Unload the Same Day or Next
On the schedule the estimate set, an Ontrack crew unloads, puts the frames and legs back on and places each piece by room.
Route details
Where Our Bay Area to Sacramento Moves Start
This is an East Bay lane more than a San Francisco one. Seven of the eight most common pickup cities in our records sit on the same side of the Bay as Oakland and our Hayward yard, and the deliveries went to Sacramento, Roseville, Elk Grove, El Dorado Hills and the towns around them.
Not in Oakland? Our movers across the Bay Area load in the other East Bay cities too.
Oakland Pickup Areas
Oakland pickups start at our Hayward yard, with no bridge between the truck and your door. Neighborhoods we load in include:

Who we help
The East Bay Moves We Run to Sacramento
Oakland calls cover homes and businesses alike. In the Oakland Hills, the walkthrough checks the driveway grade and stairs before the truck is chosen.
Whole Houses
Houses outnumber apartments on this lane in our records, 121 to 14. A whole house is where the next-day schedule usually comes in, and packing can be added room by room.
Work Setups
The home office rides with the house: desk, chair, monitors and files, each wrapped and on the inventory. For a business move, our Phase-Shift Protocol™ describes how we phase an office move around the workday.
Leaving a Hillside House
A long-held Oakland house going to a smaller place in the valley means deciding what stays behind. Our senior moving service works through that at your pace, with Hayward storage for what is not ready to go.

Oakland Hills move, re-planned calmly by the foreman
We chose Ontrack after reading great reviews as to their navigation of the (sometimes harrowing) Oakland Hills. What I encountered was end-to-end excellence, from customer service to their excellent moving team... On the day of the move, the team arrived right on time. The foreman, Guillermo, assessed our situation and calmly confirmed my suspicion that we'd need two trucks (this my error, not OnTrack's). Before I could panic, he had contacted his team and we arranged that ours be a two day move...

Chose Ontrack out of six estimates
...I received 6 estimates for our move from Oakland to Palm Desert. Ontrack was the most professional from start to finish. Paul did the walk through and was our first in-person contact with Ontrack along with Carmina in the office...

Oakland to the Central Valley, heavy items on stairs
OnTrack Moving helped me move from Oakland to Stockton. They made the process extremely easy to schedule and make changes to the move as needed. They were very efficient at moving my furniture, including some extremely heavy items up and down stairs. This was my third time using them to move, can't recommend them enough!

Common questions
Oakland to Sacramento Questions
Ontrack Moving® builds the estimate for this move at a walkthrough, on site or by video: the inventory, how much of it we pack, and the driveway, stairs and carries at both addresses. The written estimate states how the move is billed before you book, and on an hourly move the hours billed are the hours worked on the day.
Ontrack Moving® runs it on one of two schedules. A smaller home is loaded in Oakland and delivered the same day; a larger home is delivered the day after loading. Our truck logs from October 2024 to September 2026 show 52 of 63 trips tied to booked Bay Area to Sacramento moves arriving on the loading day. The size of the home decides which schedule yours gets, the driveway and stairs go into the loading time, and the written estimate states it. The delivery day is a target, not a guarantee.
Yes. Steep or narrow driveways may call for a larger crew or a smaller truck with more trips. We check the access during the walkthrough and put the crew and truck that fit your street in the estimate.
No. Ontrack Moving® is an asset-based carrier with USDOT #2551548, MC #889001 and California license CAL-T190721. It owns the trucks and runs the moves, and it does not subcontract moves. The record is public on FMCSA SAFER.
Ontrack Moving® runs its Bay Area operation from 22950 Clawiter Rd in Hayward, in the East Bay. Office hours are Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Combined Protection Tower is building liability: general liability, workers compensation and commercial auto, which covers the premises at both addresses. Belongings sit outside it. Valuation options for your items are set out in your written estimate.
The end of the month and the May through September stretch fill first, and those dates book 4 to 6 weeks out. Other dates usually have more room. An early walkthrough gets you a written estimate to plan the Oakland move-out around.
Yes. Secure storage is available at our Hayward yard if your Sacramento move-in date comes after your Oakland move-out date.
