What a move with James B Moving should cost
Not James B Moving'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 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $867 – $1,587 |

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.

Before you book James B Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1635077
James B Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1635077. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask for Sacramento references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about James B Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Sacramento you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No James B Moving driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $515 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Sacramento at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $13,136 – $17,514. A surveyed, written estimate from James B Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
