Galt is the southernmost community we serve - a small city on the flat farmland of southern Sacramento County, on the Cosumnes River and Highway 99.
Galt mixes its older railroad-era core, where the streets are narrow and the lots small, with newer subdivision growth on the edges of town. It is the smallest-city feel on our list this far south.
Galt was laid out by the Central Pacific Railroad in 1869 and named after Galt, Ontario; its core is still the small grid the railroad built beside the Cosumnes River.
Main roads to know: State Route 99, Cosumnes River, C Street, Lincoln Way.
Historical note: galt was founded in 1869 by the Central Pacific Railroad as part of the first transcontinental line and named after Galt, Ontario.

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 The MCS-150 is the form a carrier must keep current: a stale year means the record itself is out of date, not necessarily that the company stopped trading.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.
0 motor carriers with a moving-related name is registered at a physical address in Galt itself, and the wider Sacramento County register holds more. The table above lists the companies closest to Galt first, then the largest registered carriers in Sacramento 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 Galt 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 State Route 99, Cosumnes River, C Street.
