San Francisco stretches the Sacramento run another leg — I-5 south, then west on 80 and down through the Bay Area’s own traffic pattern, which usually adds more real time to the delivery than the extra highway miles do. It’s a drive we plan with the last twenty miles in mind, not just the interstate stretch.
That last stretch is exactly where a handoff to a second crew would show up if we ran the route that way. We don’t. The crew that loads your Portland home — Tobias Kwan’s or Selena Marsh’s — parks the same truck at the San Francisco address and carries everything in themselves.
Russell Voss prices the 635 miles off what he sees on the Portland walkthrough: stairs, elevator access, a loading zone that needs a permit at the delivery end. All of it goes into the number before the truck leaves, so nothing new gets added once you’re in the Bay Area.
Portland → San Francisco — What It Runs
| Home Size | Flat-Rate Estimate | Usual Transit Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1BR / Small Load | $1,300 | 1-2 days |
| 2-3BR Home | $1,860 | 2 days |
| 4BR+ Household | $2,480 | 2-3 days |
Treat these numbers as a starting budget — Russell Voss locks in the one-number estimate once he’s priced your home size and the access at both ends of the route, and that number doesn’t move once it’s written.
Moving Portland to San Francisco?
One crew handles both ends of the haul — the same people who load the truck at our Portland yard are the ones carrying it in at the delivery address
The crew that loads the truck in Portland is the same crew that rides the route and unloads it in San Francisco — nothing gets transferred to a different truck partway, there’s no reweigh at a scale, and no broker is splitting the job between two companies. Russell Voss prices the lane off real distance and cubic footage before the truck ever leaves Portland, and the number he writes that day is the number on the invoice — a run out to Sacramento gets locked in the same way a same-day job across the metro would.
