Davis is a university city on flat agricultural ground west of Sacramento, home to UC Davis and about 40,850 enrolled students - a population that turns over in a single weekend each year.
Davis is a rental city by design: student apartments and co-operative housing, older single-story bungalows around downtown, and family neighbourhoods on the edges. Bicycles are ordinary household goods here, and most homes have several.
Davis is compact, flat and bicycle-first: the UC Davis campus, the arboretum and the co-op housing at Baggins End all sit within a few minutes of downtown, and the whole city turns over housing on the September lease cycle.
Main roads to know: Interstate 80, Downtown Davis, University of California, Davis.
Historical note: Davis is known as the bicycling capital of America and hosts the United States Bicycling Hall of Fame.

US DOT numbers, fleet counts, driver counts and the MCS-150 filing year are taken from the FMCSA Motor Carrier Census (datahub.transportation.gov, dataset kjg3-diqy). The MCS-150 is the form a carrier must keep current: a stale year means the record itself is out of date, not necessarily that the company stopped trading. Fleet and driver counts are self-reported.
1 motor carrier with a moving-related name is registered at a physical address in Davis itself, and the wider Yolo County register holds more. The table above lists the companies closest to Davis first, then the largest registered carriers in Yolo County.
Every company listed has a USDOT number and a physical address on file with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which is the federal register of motor carriers. Companies moving household goods for hire inside California also need a permit from the California Public Utilities Commission, so ask for both numbers and check the permit before you sign: a USDOT number alone does not tell you whether household-goods authority is active.
It is the last time the carrier filed its MCS-150 registration form with the FMCSA. A recent year means the record is current; a year five or more back usually means the company is no longer keeping its registration up to date. Treat it as a hygiene signal and nothing more.
A carrier owns trucks and crew and moves your goods. A broker sells the job on to a carrier and may never touch your furniture. Both are legal, but the paperwork differs: with a broker you want the name of the actual carrier in writing before the truck arrives. If a quote comes from a website with no trucks in the register above, assume you are speaking to a broker.
Ask every company for the same five numbers: hourly rate and crew size, minimum hours, travel or fuel charge, valuation or insurance cover, and the deposit. A quote that is silent on one of those is not cheaper, it is just less complete. Get the crew size in writing, because two movers and four movers at the same hourly rate are very different final bills.
Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable for a weekday. The last weekend of the month in summer is the busiest window of the year in the Sacramento region, so book three to four weeks out if your date is tied to a closing or a lease.
The same three things that decide any Davis job: stairs and carry distance, where a truck can stand legally for the length of the load, and the access roads. Streets that matter most here are Interstate 80, Downtown Davis, University of California, Davis.
