By the order of review suggestions I must admit they were not on time. I booked for an 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. start, requesting earliest it's the best. I was called at least 10 times pushing the arrival time back in 10 minute increments. They did eventually show up ready to work at 2:30. After that rockie start, I have only good things to say. All I
did was briefly greet them and get out of their way. The two guys were excellent at communicating between themselves. Pretty impressive actually. Those boys navigated some pretty treacherous stairs, treated my belongings better than I could have, and rather than make me buy another hour they had me set up in the new
place within 2 hours. thank you so much. Wouldn't hurt to work out any scheduling conflicts for the clients though.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your honest feedback Aurora. Short notice/Same day scheduled jobs are much trickier to be on time with many other moves going on the same day. We usually prefer a 3-hour variable arrival window, Hireahelper only gives a 1-hour window (12pm-1pm, not 11am-1pm). We tried our best to get to you as early as possible and tried to communicate as well as possible (closer to 5 calls). Also, the 'origin' address was not correctly input on your job order which caused further delay. All's well that ends well though, right? Thanks for the positive feedback about our crew and we'll definitely be on time next time you schedule your move with proper advance notice.

Justin and Jon from Oregon Trail Moving were awesome. They returned this week to unload our pod. They were on time and prepared to work. We would use them again if we needed some moving done. Thanks for your hard work with our household goods.

Mover's response:

Justin and Jon were our moving team. They were right on time and well prepared with moving dollies, straps, carts, shrink wrap and protective carpet. They worked really hard for 3 and 3/4th hours without a break and kept a pleasant and positive attitude the whole time. They moved things I wasn't even sure they could get through our house. They treated our property and goods like it was their own. We would definitely use them again and plan on doing so in a few weeks. We definitely recommend Oregon Trail Moving.

Really good guys were scheduled for my job. Worked very smart, not hard. Saved their bodies to last the whole time moving our items. They were on time and charged accordingly when we went over on the scheduled time. The trailer was loaded solid with no movement or shifting. If there was, it was just me being punch drunk from the previous days of prepping and staging boxes in the garage. Thanks a ton, guys!

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.
