Weather
Is it a problem to move to Sacramento in summer?
Sacramento summers are hot, so ask for an early start and the first unloading slot of the day. Keep medicines, electronics, candles and anything that melts or warps in your car, not the truck. Book at least 2 weeks out for a summer date.

Your rights
