Excellent crew! Fast, courteous, knowledgeable, prompt and they worked with me to care for certain items. I appreciated all their work. I would absolutely hire them again!

Thank You

They disassembled my bed without asking. It would have fit just fine in the pod fully assembled. And in doing so, they broke 12 of the 20 cam bolts and split the wood in one place. That’s not just a mishap, but incompetence. So when I got to my destination, I couldn’t reassemble it until I got replacement hardware, costing me a few days in a hotel. I know disassembling beds is tricky, but if they broke it, they should have told me about the hardware so I could have the replacements already delivered by the time I arrived.

On time. Very friendly. Hard working. Glad we hired movers. The guys were great and even put our bed frames together. Would definitely hire again.

Jake, Keith and Joe did a great job. They were careful, considerate, efficient and made sure things were right where I needed them. I would definitely recommend Oregon Trail Moving based on their work.

Had them unload a pod after a cross country move. They called at time of reservation and the day before the scheduled unloading to review details and address any questions. Day of move the movers called in advance to let me know when they would arrive. They were on time and worked quickly and efficiently. They gave fragile items special attention. And they gave my senior dog some kind attention. Their proficiency and their friendly demeanor made this part of a big move very comfortable. And they got everything in out of the rain safely and dry.

Great two man crew with Logan and Eli. I had already done most of the box packing, but they were experts at packing the 16ft POD to maximum volume. Very professional and efficient crew. 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 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 children and near&dear items (medications, passports, etc)

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 and undergos rigorous training protocol processes 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.
