What the federal record says
Sierra Valley Moving & Storage INC trades as Sierra Valley Moving and holds USDOT number 786470 and operating authority MC-646756. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Sacramento, Sacramento County, California. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods and motor carrier of household goods, which is the grant that allows a company to move a household across a state line for money. The USDOT record was created on 18 December 1998, 27 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 15 September 2025.
The filing reports 11 power units and 14 drivers, 1.3 per truck. A fleet in that range can usually keep two or three long haul jobs running at once, which is the point where a mover starts being able to hold a delivery window rather than a delivery month. The equipment itemized on the form is 10 trucks, 1 tractor, 9 trailers. The company reported 150,000 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 13,636 miles per power unit. That places it 52nd by fleet size among the 416 registered household goods carriers based in California.
Besides household goods the census lists 1 other cargo classification: general freight. A carrier with a broad cargo list is running household moves alongside other freight, which can mean better rates on a backhaul and less predictable scheduling. The registered address falls in the Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA metropolitan area, where 20 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 16 October 2025.
The nearest other registered household goods carriers are A&L Moving & Storage LLC in Sacramento (2.8 miles), Movexus LLC in Sacramento (2.8 miles), Anthony Bondi in Sacramento (4.3 miles). Distances are between ZIP code centers, so they are approximate. Getting three written estimates from companies in the same area is the single cheapest thing you can do to avoid being overcharged.

Complaint history is not published here
FMCSA records household goods complaints in the National Consumer Complaint Database. That database has no bulk or export route open to the public, so no complaint counts appear on this site. Check the company yourself before you book. The FMCSA mover search returns complaint counts for the past three years alongside the registration record.
Our walkthrough of those lookups is on the FMCSA SAFER mover lookup guide.

Every company on these pages is registered with FMCSA. Registration is a filing requirement, not an endorsement, a licence to a standard, an approval, or a quality check by FMCSA or by this site. Fleet counts, driver counts and mileage are self reported by the carrier on form MCS-150 and are only as current as its last filing. Figures are reproduced as the federal files recorded them on the snapshot dates above and may have changed since.
