Two very professional movers showed up on time, were very courteous, and got right to work. They loaded the Penske 26 foot truck in three hours, and did a great job of packing things safely on the truck. When I got to my destination 1300 miles away, nothing in the truck had moved, it was still perfectly in place. I would definitely use this company again. Great job!

Mover's response:
Really appreciate this review! 'Load Only' jobs are very very important to do right the first time, thank you for noticing and sharing this with others it means a lot to our family of Movers.

The 3 guys from Iregon Trail Moving Services did a great job. No messing around, walked downstairs to look at the job and carried boxes on there way up. The guy that packed the truck had to be a Tetris Wizard at best. They were hustlers and always thinking what's next. Even moved the 400 lbs. treadmill with out fear. I will definetly use them on the move in.

Mover's response:
3-D Tetris all day! Thanks for the awesome feedback Sheri :)

They were on time and started right to work. Only after I had paid them and they left did I discover the terrible job they did. They packed things I told them not to and didn't pack things that have to go. I have spent the last two days repacking the pod.

Mover's response:
I'm sorry to see such dissatisfaction with our service Adrienne. After speaking with you and our crew about this I feel that we loaded the POD very well considering how disorganized things were. Garage sale and helpers still packing while we tried to sort through a ton of chaos. In the future please be well packed prior to loading labor. Also you watched us wrap and load a desk, under your orders, and changed your mind after we left. Going to McDonalds for an hour during the job also didn't help

Were they on time? YES
Were they prepared for the job? YES
Did they work hard? YES
Were they respectful of your property and goods? VERY MUCH SO
Would you use them again? YES ... Nick P. and crew bent over backward to rescue us when PODs fouled up their delivery date and left us hanging. This crew was fantastic and moved an 1100 lb. safe easily and safely. Great

Mover's response:
Yes!!! Thank you George! -Nick

I'm so glad I didn't do it alone. They arrive early and were ready to go. They worked hard, were careful of our possessions and the property, kept everything clean (rolled out the red carpet), were very polite, and they made sure it all fit (securely).

These guys were amazing. Nick and his team were super personable and efficient. We had a few large heirloom items including a piano and an antique printing press that they handled with the utmost care. They unloaded in less than 3 hours what took me and some friends nearly 24 hours to load. I would not hesitate to use Oregon Trail Moving Services again, and highly recommend them.

I had a wonderful experience with Oregon Trail Moving Services. They covered the floors with moving blankets, to prevent any damage. Were polite, efficient and kind. And also had no problem with my strange request to not eat food items I'm severely allergic to for lunch, before arriving to be in my home and transfer all my belonging from a POD into my home. I will use them for all future local moves!

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.
