Both sets of movers did a great job. Showed up on time and we’re careful with our furniture.

Great team of workers! Scheduling got a little messed up (not their fault) but they showed up as soon as possible and got done quickly. Both were prepared, worked hard and very respectful of property/ goods. Would definitely use them again.

Both Carlos and Marcus are so efficient and packed the container so wonderfully. I will recommend this company with 5 stars.

We were really pleased as the crew was most efficient, polite and careful with our furniture. They were able to unload the 16' POD in about an hour and fifteen minutes. They used the remaining 45 mins. to help move materials from upstairs and reposition boxes and furniture within the house.
Having professional movers was tremendously helpful for us when we remodeled and had wood floors installed and refinished. If you're remodeling, rent a 16' POD for a month, hire Oregon Trail Moving to load the POD with all your packed household goods and 3.5 weeks later hire them again to unload the POD and put your gear back into your castle. The expense of hiring the movers to load and unload the POD and the POD rental was well worth it. For retired folks, I'd recommend this for anyone doing major remodeling to their home. Oregon Trail Moving has terrific employees. Most appreciated!

Gavin and John were absolutely fantastic! Quick, efficient and careful. I’ve moved 27 times and this was by far the smoothest! Thank you so much!!!

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.
