Absolutely fantastic! Arrived on time. Unloaded quickly and efficently. Small pod (12 footer) and they had it unloaded in an hour. Yes, one hour! Super helpful too ... put a metal bedframe together. I would absolutely recommend!

I spent three hours with your two young helpers and they were polite, agreeable and good company. Our task was to put about 400 books back on my shelves. They took direction beautifully and I am very pleased with the result. Will use your company again.

I've used every kind of mover you can imagine - van line, point-to-point, pod, do-it-myself. This time I did the latter, using Oregon Trail to empty out three storage spaces and load my truck. Definitely the best experience of them all - on time, fast, easy to work with and they did a masterful job of packing the truck safely, correctly and as fully as possible.

This was my first time to use HireAHelper and Oregon Trail Moving Services, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Our movers arrived 10minutes early, after calling to let us know they were on the way. They were polite, careful and very competent. Hire A Helper made the experience easy with very clear explanations in timely emails. They are totally professional in handling the scheduling and payment aspects of this move. I will definitely recommend HireAHelper and Oregon Trail Moving Services to friends and use them again myself when we need capable extra hands. Fran H., Newberg, OR

Our moving team was not only early to our home, they came prepared with all the tools they would need. They worked very hard and continoutlying for 4.5 hours. They took took expert care of our furniture during packing of the 16' pod we had ordered. If possible, we will use Tony and Scott when we find our new home.

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.
