Moving Reviews
Real Portland area customers. Unedited, unfiltered reviews of Oregon Trail Moving.
Hilary S
Anthony and Will were AMAZING and helped me unload a truly messy container to a second floor apartment. They had great attitudes the whole time and got the job done super fast.
Michael R
The guys did a great job keeping everything safe and working quickly. I'll use them again if I'm ever in the area.
Josh R
The two gentleman (I unfortunately forgot to take their names) were here early and did such a great job. They were friendly, quick, extremely professional, and even took the time to introduce themselves to our dog.
Would definitely use Oregon Trail Moving again!
Paul S
The team of three were professional and friendly. Each person knew exactly what they had to do and the worked efficiently and completed loading two 16 ft containers in the time frame we paid for.
Tracy E
Scott and Austin were early and very professional and efficient. Additionally they were very kind and friendly and will definitely request them again by name for my 2nd and last storage load into a truck. They took a job that would have taken my husband and I around 2 day, down to just over 2 hours, well worth the fee.
Olga G
they had a great attitude - sweet, patient, nonstop working. but...when the unloading came, that is when the damage became evident. i packed my household, clearly marking various boxes "china", "fragile", nothing on top, etc. not much regard paid towards that. as well, placement of heavy boxes on top of delicate and/or sensitively manufactured pieces of furniture. to date, have had to throw away a good bookcase and a drafting table, an antique walnut cabinet has damage in various places. at least, so far, nothing broken in boxes (but i have a lot to unpack). as well, the first time that i found damage, the office manager immediately contacted me, concerned, which i appreciated, and told me that the owner would get back to me. that was 5, 6 days ago? i have texted them about the ensuing damage discovered - and nothing (and yes, i have photos). no, i would not use them again, nor would i recommend them.
Bill T
they were on time and friendly. they were ready for the job and had the equipment they needed. they worked hard so even finished early. they made sure to take care not to ding walls and protect floor. would definitely use them again if i need moving labor help 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 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.
