Could not be happier with Oregon Trail Movers.
Chris was an excellent leader and the
Team worked fast and efficiently.
The pod was unloaded and boxes placed where we needed them to go.There was a big problem in that mice had been living in the pod for months!
Mouse droppings were everywhere and there were mice running in the POD.
.
Thank you team Oregon Trail!

The crew of two showed up on time and did a great moving everything in carefully and quickly. They were very professional and I would absolutely use them again.

This was a great experience. Before the move, I received confirmation calls and they let me know what to expect. They asked a number of questions that helped create a smooth and successful move. The movers were on-time and came prepared. They were very easy to work with, energetic and willing to help in many ways, even asking if there was more they could help with. Would definitely use them again!

Chad and Chris were AMAZING! They were friendly and willing to help with anything. They loaded our trailer in much less time than I thought it would take. I didn't think everything would fit, but they made it happen!!

Nick is the owner and was very responsive and did proper follow up. The movers he sent were professional and hard workers. I would hire them again for moves in the future.

The two movers were easy to work with, on time to my house, and easily packed my items securely in the truck. Thanks, team!

The guys who did this unloading job for me were friendly, hard working and helpful. They asked the right questions. They were careful and did not rush. They were on time except one of the four guys. However, there was an extra man who was in training. So they were still faster all together. I think it is thoughtful to have movers go through a training period! The man in charge obviously had a lot of experience and set the right tone for the team. Definitely would use this service again.

The movers arrived on time, and after a short review of the job, they went right to work.
They worked very hard, and did a fantastic job of loading our truck, using every available inch!
They were very careful with my things and also accommodated us when we added more boxes to fill the truck.
I would definitely use them again.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

Customers will receive a follow up confirmation email upon booking. They will also receive a courtesy call the day before the move to confirm details and to inquire about any changes as is often the case with moving. Of course, at any time prior to your move you can contact Hire-A-Helper or speak with us directly with any changes or questions about your move. Friendly answers to questions are just a call away!

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

Our crews will arrive approximately 10 minutes before the scheduled time of the move and they will be waiting on-site to meet with you. They will arrive with all the specified equipment needed to complete your job as discussed and arranged previously with our staff. For every job they arrive with Tools, Dollys, Heavy Liftings Straps, Floor Runners for protection, Shrink Wrap & Moving Blankets, Tie Down Straps and more. If specified they will bring a variety of other equipment for Pianos, Hot Tubs etc.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Small and fragile items should be wrapped and boxed. Labeling boxes for your identification as well as the movers is always helpful at the other end. If you can stack boxes and arrange them so the movers are able to get to them with the Dollys this will save time and money. Stacks should be chest high and allowance for the movers to get to them should be made. Clear pathways for the movers, secure pets, and practice social distancing when the movers are on-site.

What types of moves have you handled?

We do all types of moving; Local, Long Distance, Office & Industrial. We are a Labor Moving Service. We do not provide or drive trucks. We specialize in container moves i.e. PODS, ABF, U-Pack, U-Box, & Pack Rat. Our customers also rent and drive their own trucks as well as rental moving trucks i.e. U-Haul, Penske, Enterprise, Budget, etc.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

I am proud to be a native Oregonian. I was raised on a small cattle farm in Ashland. My Parents were full time teachers and farmers and showed me the fundamentals of hard work and perseverance. I thoroughly enjoy this business. From interacting with our customers to find solutions for their needs, and getting out and assisting our crews in the field.  I look forward to meeting you and helping you along your way!

What training do you provide your crew members?

Safety is always #1 ! Every Oregon Trail Mover starts as a helper and follows experienced crew leads with after undergoing a rigorous training protocol process at our headquarters. Each crew member is first evaluated for their individual talents and abilities in order to assess where they may be utilized most effectively on our team whether that be packing and wrapping, detailed inventory with computer skills, or the ability to lift heavy weight repeatedly for hours on end.
