We hired a crew when we first moved to the area and they were fantastic. We had initially used HireAHelper but I highly recommend booking directly with Oregon Trail Moving. There's an added cost with the HireAHelper platform. Moving out of the area, we consulted with Nick. We considered two or three people to help us move for a 2 bedroom apartment. We went ahead with three people, since we're on the 3rd floor in an apartment complex, and that was the right move. Jake, Josiah, and Chris showed up early! They were so efficient with a previous move that day that they called and said they were ready to go. We had ordered 2 relocubes through U-Pack and when they arrived - these things look smaller than we thought they would be. There's just no way we could have packed as efficiently as Jake, Josiah, and Chris did. They were so fast too. We hadn't packed as well as we could have. Moves are stressful. We had odd pieces of furniture and linen in garbage bags, and the crew was able to take them all and fit them into the cubes. They finished within 3 hours. With the containers, there's bound to be some jostling using the forklift to load them onto the truck, but I am worry-free. They did such a great job making sure things were tightly packed. read more

They're cheap for a reason. They ripped a chunk of trim off my front door moving furniture inside. And personality-wise they were way more tense and agitated than the team I hired for loading in Salem. But the rating is because of the trim thing. read more

when I found out at the last minute before I moved that the people who were supposed to help me weren't going to, I searched for movers who did labor only. I didn't need a truck because I was moving in to a different apartment in the same building. Oregon Trail movers was able to fit me in on the day that I needed them. They showed up at the beginning of the window they gave me. They were prepared with everything they needed to do the move. The price was very reasonable. I would use these folks again in a second and I recommend them highly. Thank you Oregon Trail movers! read more

The absolute best at what they do. I've moved 3x with them and they've never disappointed in service, professionalism and quality. Pro tip, use a three man crew and what you spend for the extra guy, you'll more than make up for in time. read more

They were good the first time, and just as good this time!! Showed up on time, got me moved out of my third floor apartment and into my house in short time. They didn't bang anything up, nothing broken. Austin and Salomon thank you!!! Super appreciate this business. Easy to coordinate with, great prices and experienced crews. Thanks OTM!!! read more

Wonderful moving company! Like so many other happy and satisfied customers on these reviews, we have nothing but great things to say about our experience with the Oregon Trail moving company. The office staff was helpful and Informative about how the move and unpacking would go and she checked in the day before as promised. On our moving day, the crew showed up on time and were super efficient. They were respectful of our belongings and always checked in about where things went. They were creative problem solvers - with very big sofa bed that didn't fit through the drawer, they made it work. We were happy with the whole experience from start to finish. We would highly recommend them to anybody arriving in the Portland area. read more

Oregon Trail Moving will be my go to company when that time comes. Top notch team that seems to start at the top with Nick. Appreciate his work ethic and communication skills, thank you Oregon Trail Moving! read more

I hired them to help me pack for a long distance move. The two guys that came were on time and friendly, and Oregon Trail was cheaper than any of my other options. But that's where the positive things ended. They didn't bring enough packing supplies (boxes, blankets, and tape) even though I asked them in advance if there was anything they wanted me to buy. Then, when they arrived and I saw how little they had, I asked if I should run out and buy some more materials. They reassured me that we would have enough. We did not have enough. We straight up ran out of the boxes and tape they brought. We had to use some boxes I bought just in case. After using my "just in case" boxes, WE STILL DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH. They packed at least 50% of my stuff in used boxes that already had scribbled notes on them from the previous move, like "LIVING ROOM" and "FRAGILE" when they weren't being used to contain my living room things. When I unpacked at my new apartment, I had no idea where anything was supposed to go. They didn't wrap fragile items in paper; most things were just thrown in boxes. They didn't bring a single wardrobe hanger, so none of my clothes could be packed hanging. They left multiple items behind, and I had to pack them myself. I went through the kitchen after they were done, and found random cups, lids, and bowls. If they had just looked into the cabinets ONCE after they were done to confirm they had gotten everything, they would have seen what they forgot. Maybe they didn't pack everything because THEY HAD NO BOXES TO PUT STUFF IN. I lost my KitchenAid mixer completely No clue where it got packed into. They were supposed to give me a receipt when they were done, and they did not. It was a mess, from start to end. Next time, I'm not going to hire a company just to pack. I'll get my movers to pack. The level of responsibility taken by a company that knows they only have to do one portion was so disappointingly low. read more

From start to finish, Oregon Trail Moving exceeded our expectations. We called the week before to request an estimate, and the woman who helped on the phone gave us great information on what to expect, how to prepare, etc. We are a 7-person family plus pets, plenty of furniture, and a piano, so this was a pretty big move. Plus, the old house had a terrible basement with not-up-to-code stairs, a loft bedroom, and while we had boxes packed we needed a lot of help getting tables and beds taken apart. We used 3 movers (Chad, Chris S, and John G). They showed up early and immediately walked through the house with me to understand my expectations and needs. It took NO TIME to get all the boxes loaded into our truck. By lunch, the truck was basically finished save for a few odds/ends that my wife and I found. Once at the new house, we were given the (literal) red carpet treatment. We were so touched by the care they took in getting our important items placed just right. We didn't even have to lift a finger to set any furniture up. Because the move was so large, we had to go back for a second trip, but again, the guys' attitudes and work ethic were above-and-beyond, and we were completely moved within about 10 hours of starting. I don't want to move again, but if I do I will reach out to Oregon Trail Moving as my first and only choice. Moving is a very expensive process - but let me be clear, the spend that we made with them was THE BEST use of our money all year. HIGHLY recommend! read more

I am a repeat customer from last year. The crew: Leo, Austin and Julian. Texted me before arrival and showed up on time and wearing masks. They were fast courteous and professional. I took the time to read the email that was sent Co firming my appointment and noticed the instructions about stacking your boxes chest high with heaviest on bottom, the crew seemed to appreciate that! You will to add it believe it helped us get both Relocubes loaded in three hours flat, including multiple trips down the elevator. The prices are competitive and the service is excellent. Don't hesitate to book with OTM! read more

Oregon Trail Moving - Two relocubes unloaded in under 2 hours by a 3 person crew. - Movers Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is months late, but we can't say enough great things about Oregon trail moving. They were so easy to book, the movers were on time and efficient, and the person on the phone was so patient and kind. We weren't sure what time our pod would arrive, and they were so nice and willing to work with us on timing, and to reschedule with no extra costs. The crew had our entire POD moved in 60 minutes from the second they got there from the second they left. Plus, all three were kind and put things exactly where we wanted them. Hopefully we won't move anytime soon and have to use them again, but if we do we would call them in a heartbeat without any hesitation. read more

I recently hired them to move my belongings from a 26 ft moving truck we just drove across country, into my townhome. From start to finish Matt, Christian, and Joey were true professionals. They were very friendly and kept an outstanding positive attitude throughout the entire 3 hours. They moved several very heavy pieces of furniture, including several upstairs and a few with marble tops, and they made it look effortless. It was like having 3 NFL players! I've hired several moving companies in the past, and these guys were truly exceptional! Instead of using a dolly or hand truck to move all my heavy boxes and furniture upstairs and throughout the house, they hand carried everything, so no damage to floors. They were prompt, communicated any issues or concerns well, priced fairly, and are SUPER hard workers! I highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future! read more

This is the second time we have moved with Oregon Trail Moving company. The first time was within Portland, from an apartment to a house, and the second time from Portland to Seattle. The crew both times were wonderful- they handled our possessions with care, dismantled items that needed dismantling, plastic wrapped bookcases and drawers, thoughtfully wrapped our artwork and we have many delicate ceramic bowls- nothing broke or was damaged. The Seattle move took much longer than expected, and Carlos and Liam were unfailingly patient and considerate and good natured and were not phased by needing to rent an additional trailer, accommodating our schedule, and working a super long day. The office staff were friendly and helpful answering all our questions and making arrangements easy and stress free. We felt totally confident we were in capable and excellent hands at every phase of both moves. I recommend Oregon Trail Moving with complete confidence!! read more

OK these guys SAVED us!! I mean, absolutely incredible. we just moved across the country and hubs and I have been trying to empty a dang POD for two months! ....we were stymied trying to carry stuff down steep basement stairs + heavy lifting. We're in our 50s & our friends are old and creaky like us...so we called these guys, spoke to incredibly helpful Jennifer, and - done! 3 dudes showed up the next morning and had the entire thing carefully emptied, delivered downstairs to the basement - in about an hour and a half. what we couldn't do in 2 months, they did in like an hour, with smiles and great attitudes. Wow!! unbelievably fast, strong, and still smiling?! amazing service. can't wait for another opportunity to hire this team. don't hesitate. they rock and ps, I didn't find a better price anywhere. read more

We used Oregon Trail Movers for an interstate move, and they were amazing! We boxed our own stuff and hired Oregon Trail to wrap our furniture and load everything onto the trailer. This included an upright piano and a 300 pound safe. We got 7 guys on day 1, it took them just under 4 hours to load an entire 28' trailer. On day 2, it took 2 guys about 3 hours to load 1/3 of a trailer. Pricing was as quoted, customer service both on the phone and in person was excellent. All the guys were kind, and respectful of us and our property. So far we've received 1 trailer and there's been very little damage. Scott and his team are experts. We highly recommend!! read more

It's been a year since I moved but I still remember how very happy I was with the service received from Oregon Trail Moving! I had two 18' PODS and expected the three guys to take 4-5 hours to unload the PODS and place all the furniture and boxes where I wanted them. Instead they were done in about 3 hours! Jeffrey M, Josh and Dejon really worked hard and the office staff was also very friendly and professional. I've been wanting to write this review for a long time but I couldn't remember their names but I just came across the receipt so I decided it was finally time to do so. I highly recommend Oregon Trail Moving. Good price and great service! read more

We've used them for 3 moves over the last 4 years. Professional service at a great value. Each of the teams we've worked with have always been hard working and respectful. Can't recommend enough literally a couple of my friends are hiring them in the next 2 weeks to assist with their moves. Something to think about for your move: Depending on how much stuff you have, how fast you want your move day to go, and how prepared you are... it might be worth it to higher 3 people for your move team. We've done both 2 and 3 people teams on our moves and I think the time you save with 3 people pencils out to be around same price as it takes less time. Also of note, the customer service has always been excellent. We had small damage at a house we re in the process of selling and the owner of Oregon Trail Moving called me up immediately and had it sorted and fixed with 48 hours. Also, when we hired different movers to unload our truck they were very impressed with the job done. Inquiring who we had hired because this truck was top tier pro level packing!!!! 6 stars. read more

Edit: I was extremely kind and understanding to not only these employees but also Nick, who texted me last night. I literally said to them "I'm sorry but we've decided that respectfully we need to ask you to leave. Thank you for your help." I thanked Nick yesterday for not charging me. He then got mad at me because I wouldn't remove this review. I told him I couldn't do so with integrity as my review is my honest experience. I was in the truck all evening until midnight reorganizing their "free labor." I have videos and pictures of all of the mess that was created. I will happily add a picture of my receipt of the $500 I paid for last minute movers as well as our narrow street that I spent 15 minutes attempting to park the uhaul in the driveway of (this coming from someone who's been driving these for 13 years). I will also post my conversation with Nick. The other company I used were excellent and I'll be leaving their company 5 stars like I've left for many companies over the years. This is by far the worst experience I've ever had with movers. We had to ask them to leave. Two out of shape men (no problem, I'm out of shape too but don't be a mover if you are) showed up an hour and 15 minutes late to our move. They were supposed to arrive at 2. They called at 2:30 and said they'd be there in a half hour. They showed up at 3:15. That would have been fine but these men were extremely slow. I've hired professional movers at least 5 times now and never seen anyone go this slowly. One guy was just standing in the uhaul for literally 30 minutes "organizing" things without moving anything. The other was on the phone with his girlfriend for 20 minutes while very slowly wrapping furniture. One of them knocked a bin down the stairs, breaking the bin and spilling the contents everywhere. The other ran into the wall with our nightstand and left a large dent. They left our fabric couch on its side out in the driveway on the pavement. In the two and a half hours we had them here they filled less than half the uhaul with bins in the most unorganized manner I've ever seen. They didn't move ANY of our large items - bed, frame, dresser, accent chair, loveseat, etc. They attempted to load the sofa on its side on one of my nice quilts that they threw on the ground even though I had an extra moving blanket available upstairs which I told them about. We asked them to leave. It was that bad. Now I get to pay $500 for last minute movers to come in the morning to REPACK the uhaul and actually more our large items. And now we're late for our cross country move. Terrible experience. read more

We recently used Oregon Trail Moving and were highly satisfied. Jake and Andrew arrived and immediately started to unload our U-haul. They were professional, friendly and you could see that they cared about your items. The moving experience from scheduling to finish was easy and stress free. Thank you OTM, we will use your company again in the future. read more

I chose Oregon Trail Moving based upon the Yelp reviews. They certainly did not disappoint. The three person crew showed up right on time and got straight to work. They unloaded my 20 ft container and 17 foot uhaul in two hours. The company was so great to work with. They called and discussed my needs and answered all my questions. The crew that showed up were really great. They were personable, courteous and professional. In the back of your mind you wonder how slow they will work since they are paid based upon time. No need to worry with OTM, they are great and hard working. It was a pleasure working with them. Thank you for making our move great again! read more

Oregon Trail Moving - Movers Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The great reviews that Oregon Trail has are WELL earned. I have moved no less than 10 times in my life (7 as an adult) and I have never seen movers this efficient. They took great care of all of our belongings (not even a scratch), and still moved faster than I think I've EVER seen people move. I honestly felt BAD that we were paying by the hour because these guys finished twice as fast as I expected (and also wound up being cheaper than their estimate). They were friendly, professional, and I legitimately can't say enough how efficient. I have really high expectations and these guys exceeded every one. Amazing job. read more

Oregon Trail Movers is a truly stellar moving company- I can't say enough good things about them! First, they were so capable efficient and friendly both during the booking process and the actual moving process. Second, what you see is what you get- they are true to what they say. There are no hidden costs, no trick of wording to lead you in a more expensive direction or hide extra fees. Third- the process is ultra smooth and STRESS FREE!!! They are organized, smart, careful and experienced! No confusion, not a single damaged or broken item, no fuss no muss. They left our place looking organized and clean. Ryan and Brennan were extremely professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with. Oregon Trail Moving is such an enormous breath of fresh air after dealing with other moving companies! I highly and wholeheartedly recommend them as a #1 choice for moving companies!!! read more

These guys were just fantastic. Jake and Austin showed up early, worked their asses off and packed my container with impressive efficiency. They use the materials I had to ensure my things were wrapped safely and securely, without me having to pay for expensive tv boxes, etc. They did several walk throughs to ensure everything I needed was packed and gave me lots of pointers on how to secure my stuff before pickup. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! read more

We very pleased with Oregon Trial Moving who we found via the POD company. It was great working with a local company. Their office staff was proactive with information and follow up on our loading date. The crew, Austin and Chris showed up on time, were very professional, had the tools and supplies they needed and to charge of organizing our furniture and boxes to maximize the POD space. They worked well as a team and had a great sense of humor, while doing heavy hard work. We look forward to having Oregon Trail Moving load our next POD next week. Highly recommend working directly with this family owned business. Phone # 503-922-2225 read more

We found this company by sheer luck, as our other movers canceled 30 minutes prior to our scheduled move (literally our worst nightmare lol). We called morning of, was no problem whatsoever; Oregon Trail Movers had a crew to our home within a few hours. The dispatch incredibly attentive and helpful, and to call the movers spectacular would be the understatement of the century. CJ, Drew, and DaMon were amazing. Hardworking, kind, STRONG (thank god), extremely respectful, and above all patient beyond measure. We practically had to beg them to take a 10 minute break to eat! We cannot sing CJ, Drew, and DaMon's praises enough. Thank you, THANK YOU Oregon Trail Movers! A 5 star rating simply can't do this group justice. This company deserves 10 stars on every level. read more

Super professional and so hard working. I hired them to pack and move my stuff. They can charge less because they don't do any driving. So they helped load the U-Haul that we rented and helped unload when we got to the destination. 3 guys came to pack our 1200 sq ft duplex, they may have underestimated the amount of time it was going to take. They declined taking a break for lunch and worked through it till about 2pm? (late lunch!) They took great care of my stuff and packed it well. On the business side, I was in contact with one person who coordinated everything with the movers. When the movers were done, they called the office and then the office called me with the cost. It was seamless. If you can handle driving your own moving truck and are moving locally, call them! They were more convenient and affordable than hiring a truck and movers. read more

Wonderful, careful, and good-natured team of 3 men unloaded our truck after an interstate move. They were right on time and worked hard to get us situated as quickly as possible. Great guys, and we highly recommend their services! read more

OK I'm back for the 2nd review for the 2nd crew. I staggered my Pod delivery not knowing the size needed. Dejion and Ramon were efficient, careful, and asked to make sure all was good. Even did a walk thru to make sure that they had gotten everything I needed in the Pod. If you need movers, these are the people. They know Pods, how to stack them properly and take care in disassembling furniture in order to make it fit. Their goal is a 5 rating and it shows. I love that they ask for this along the way to make sure they are doing a great job. I can't thank everyone enough. Another great experience. read more

Driving from LA to Sherwood as an older couple, we realized we had bitten off more than can could chew! Oregon Trail Moving to the rescue. Easy booking, cash offered discount. The lads, AJ and Jake arrived before scheduled, called before they got here to confirm, and kicked ass! I thought, seeing as how they were paid by the hour, they would take their time... oh no no! They had us unpacked, assisted with putting two furniture items together and were respectfully gone in about 2 hours! Awesome representatives of their company. Well done Oregon Trail Moving - and thank you. read more

AJ & Austin were absolutely fantastic. They moved my mom into Senior Housing, were so courteous, patient and efficient. Nothing broken. Dispatch was great, followed up to verify in both email and text. Would recommend them all day long! Thank you for making a stressful day turn out to be so much easier. Gratefully yours! read more

Third time using Oregon Trail Movers and I honestly think I have not had the pleasure of interacting with a better run company. Rates are good, crews are always hardworking, courteous and skilled, and they are timely. Office staff is wonderful and super helpful. Give Scott, Rusty, and Robert a raise! They were spectacular. Will definitely be using them again. read more

I needed four pieces of furniture moved to my new apartment around the block. This went very smoothly from booking the movers to the actual move. Their time estimate was spot on, the movers were friendly and efficient. I will definitely use them again. read more

Clear and transparent price calculation! Professional work. Powerful 2 young athletes type of force and 1 super experienced boss came in and did perfect work. Nice and friendly but not too much. Just right for us. We asked reassembling. They built bank bed a bit oddly but all good A note is you have to borrow Uhaul or some other truck by your self and they will come with everything else. If that's ok for you, I think they are perfect. read more

I wish I could give a higher rating than a "5", as the two movers (Austin & Joey) who loaded up my condo belongings today were respectfiul, professional and so very efficient. I fully expected to have them load and move all of my heavy/bulky items, and I would then spend the rest of the day moving boxes and smaller items myself. Imagine my surprise when I saw that every single item had been fitted into my truck, like a giant jig-saw puzzle. Then, they followed me to my storage facility where they expertly unloaded and moved my things into storage. The office personnel were just as easy to contact, schedule and communicate with! I will definitely use Oregon Trail Moving when I find my next home and need their services again!!! read more

They are efficient and fast safe loaders! They unloaded a large pod for us and were super fast. They were cheap compared to so many moving companies. They were great happy employees I will definitely use them again! We had Jake and Peyton definitely ask for them they managed to get our big furniture into our small doors. read more

The value and quality provided by the team hired to unload our moving pods was awesome. Gabe, the team lead was very good as the team captain. We had five guys. They easily swapped out fridges for us. They are highly recommended for moving into the Portland area by us. So happy we hired the helpers. 3 pack rat units were full and Gabe's team got it done. Very thankful. Give them a call. 5 stars. read more

Guys did a great job helping us to move to our new place. Everything was stacked perfectly in the truck, so we had no damage to our belongings. They were fast and professional. I have already recommended them to my friend who's moving and I'm gonna hire them again soon. read more

Oregon trail moving took a very stressful life event and made it remarkably easy. My wife and I moved from Portland to Los Angeles and Oregon trail came to our house to pack on a Thursday, and load us into a pod and a U-Haul Friday. The four Man team was professional helpful speedy and nothing was broken or damaged. But the most amazing and impressive thing is that they were able to move a 1200 pound safe out of our basement and into the U-Haul without any damage to the steps. They were within $20 of what the estimate was which is really amazing all things considered. I cannot recommend them enough, this is an A1 outfit. It wasn't even just the movers but scheduling calling invoicing was all perfect. read more

Awesome, they came through last minute when my other's movers jerked me around last minute. The woman who answered was very understanding and so helpful. She advised how many movers I would need, the size truck, etc. The movers showed up on time and finished everything in just 3 hours. Give how stressed I was with the other movers being crap, these guys saved the day. I would recommend them over and over again. read more

These people make actual miracles happen. We had scheduled movers two weeks before our move and 20 minutes before they were supposed to arrive, the dude texted (yeah, he texted) to cancel. (We were able to get them on the phone and talk to the company in person, but the guy who owns the business was pretty adamant about not taking responsibility for himself.) For the next two hours, we scrambled to find their replacements and assumed that our move would have to wait for an indeterminate amount of time. One of the moving companies we called referred us to Oregon Trail and we spoke with Nick. He said, "I can try to find some guys for you but don't stop looking." We didn't and about 30 minutes later, Nick called back to tell us that he had found two movers who would be on their way in around two hours. Larone and Jacob showed up, swiftly and efficiently loaded all of our stuff into the Uhaul, and then just as swiftly and gently unloaded it all again once we got to our new place. They were friendly, professional, super skilled, and made themselves available with no notice. It seems like there's no real way to thank them enough but hopefully, this Yelp review will help a little. Thank you Larone and Jacob and thank you, Nick, for knowing these two gems. You guys came through and we will always remember that you saved the day. (We will also always remember the idiots who bailed with nothing more than a text, 20 minutes before they had committed to showing up. But that is for another Yelp review.) read more
