PDX Movers LLC

What to expect when hiring PDX Movers… Our movers call or text you the morning of your move letting you know what time to expect, When they arrive you are greeted by hard working professional movers who lay out the red carpet for your furniture. We diss assemble and wrap all your belongings and make sure special items get extra care. Then everything is loaded onto the truck for safe travel. Upon arrival at your new home we roll the red carpet out again, protect your entryways and re assemble and place furniture in the room of your choice. Our goal is to make sure we leave you completely satisfied with our services.

Local Residential

Local Moving Companies must have authority from the state of Oregon to move house hold goods. If they’re not on the list they’re NOT authorized and therefore NOT legal.

Every Moving Company must operate under a published tariff. This is to protect you from frivolous charges. The tariffs make sure Moving Companies are consistent and not adding hidden fees at the end of the move because they want to. 

Every Moving company is required to carry cargo, bailey’s, or inland marine insurance. If a company is operating without insurance, it can be very hard to hold them accountable for damage they may cause. 

When arriving on the day of the move, the moving company is required to have a Bill of Lading. This BOL shows their hourly/weight rate, declaration of insurance protection, start and stop times as well as a mandatory receipt. 

All moving companies are required to run background checks on all of their employees, I post my team online, and you can cross reference with the state to determine if they have been properly screened by PDX Movers and the state.

Every Moving company is supposed to publish there ODOT Number on every piece of advertising. Our ODOT # is 161428

If your move is over 50 miles and outside the commercial zone of the Portland/Metro area, your movers should most likely be charging by weight. Your estimate should show what it will cost per 100 lbs. After your move has finished, payment is typically due because they have weighed your items on the way and will know the final price. You should receive TWO weight tickets to prove your weight. The original or tare weight ticket and the re-weight ticket. Your weight tickets must be signed by you before and after the move.
