This moving company was excellent! We hired them through POD for 2 movers for 2 hours and they were wonderful! The movers were very friendly, helpful and very careful with all of the furniture, floors and walls in the house. I would recommend this moving company to anyone!

Matt and Joey (and Jennifer) from Oregon Trail Moving. Great communication, showed up on time, worked hard, and were very pleasant to deal with. They were all a great help, and I plan to use them again in the future. Thank you!

Our two helpers focused their entire time on organizing and then packing in our household goods....with only one short break during their 3 hour effort. I watched as they carefully arranged the boxes and items so as to complete the task with a very tightly stacked load that ended up within the 10 foot trailer space I had planned for.

Our load arrives in a week and we'll see then for sure how well it was all placed, but their efforts was very professional and far better than I could have ever done on my own.

This company is awesome! They moved what I expected to be 3 hours of work in right under an hour. Friendly, professional, and quick to get it done. I highly recommend using this company if you’re in need of movers.

I only hired one mover because I didn't have a lot to move. He showed up on time and ready to get to work. He was very quick and efficient and also accommodated several requests to rearrange some items after they arrived in my space. Would definitely hire 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.
