Around the old village the lots are irregular, some driveways slope, and a few properties sit below the road. East towards Madison and Hazel the access is ordinary suburban: wide streets, flat drives, short carries. We ask which one you are in before quoting hours, because the slope and the walk are what change the number.
What moves the hours here
A sloped driveway
The truck parks where it is safe and the crew walks the difference. That is time in the estimate, not a fee, and it is better in the estimate than discovered on the day.
Steps down to the door
Some homes near the bluff sit below the road. Carrying up is slower than carrying along, and it belongs in the hours before you book.
The four-mile hop to Carmichael
The shortest regular run from Fair Oaks. The tariff doubles driving time here as it does everywhere, but four miles doubled is still four miles of driving. Sacramento, Folsom and Roseville are the ones that show up in the hours.
Summer starts
The valley runs past 100°F for weeks. Those jobs are booked for an early start, which is easier on the crew and on your furniture, and it costs fewer billable hours.
Double drive time, and why it is on your bill
Maximum Rate Tariff 4, Item 36: an hourly local move bills loading, unloading and double the driving time between your two addresses. The tariff sets no distance threshold, so it applies however short the drive. It is the state tariff rather than a company surcharge, and the line is on your estimate before you book.
Questions people ask
My driveway is steep. Does that change the price?
It changes the hours, not the rate. Tell us when you book and the estimate will already have it in.
Is the drive to Carmichael doubled?
Yes — Maximum Rate Tariff 4 doubles it on every hourly local move. It is about four miles, so there is little to double. Fair Oaks to Sacramento or Folsom is where it becomes a real line on the estimate.
Can you pack as well?
Yes, whole-home or just the kitchen and the fragile things, at its own lower hourly rate. Materials you keep are quoted separately.
