In short
GDS Moving & Installation Inc (USDOT 3612168) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within California, based in Sacramento, CA and registered since 2021. Its filing lists 1 truck and 6 drivers. It has no FMCSA safety rating. It had no roadside inspection in the last 24 months, so there is no inspection record either way.
Is GDS Moving & Installation Inc licensed?
GDS Moving & Installation Inc is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3612168) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within California, but a move across a state line would have to go through a carrier holding interstate authority, often a van line the company works for as an agent. Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.
It has no safety rating on record in 5 years of registration (since 2021): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against GDS Moving & Installation Inc, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 6 drivers, and the registration dates from 2021.

What a move with GDS Moving & Installation Inc should cost
Not GDS Moving & Installation Inc's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Sacramento costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Sacramento: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Sacramento: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$56 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $859.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $411 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $635 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $515 – $859 |

| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,483 – $2,315 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,835 – $2,763 |
Hourly rates are scaled to California: hand movers there earn a median $21.50 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $44–$56 per mover per hour.
