This is the first time I have ever used movers and I am so grateful to them. Nick called me the day before the move as a courtesy to make sure we were all set for the next day. The day of the move the guys were on time, offered furniture protectors and brought there own hand trucks. They did not complain, they were respectful of my thing's, and my day went so smoothly because they stayed on schedule. I am recommending this company to anyone who will listen. What professionals. They made it so easy!

Mover's response:
Your review, Stephanie, is the main reason why we enjoy helping others so much in this challenging profession! We are all very grateful here at OTM for your business and your kind words.. -Nick

I'd like to start with the fact that my trailer got stuck in the snow, so I had to reschedule. They were professional and explained all excess charges and reasoning. Due to the weather, the movers had to be here later the next day. They kept in contact with me- they were late due to traffic. The two helpers that showed up were fast, efficient, and considerate. I would hire them again.

Mover's response:
Thanks Heather! Hope you are settling in well and if you need our help again hopefully there won't be 2' of snow next time :)

The guys were great! They were on time and they bashed the lock off of my pod when the key didn't work. They were extremely efficient;both had dolly in hand and were either coming in or going out.

Mover's response:
Solving problems is half of the battle :)

Really appreciate your business and your review Jennifer! Merry Christmas to you and yours and best wishes moving forward..

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.
