Summer is peak moving season, and whether you’re moving across the city or across the country, selecting a certified moving company can make the difference between a stress-free move and one resulting in damage, mishandling, overcharging or theft.

When a move takes place completely in Oregon, moving company rates and services are regulated by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Staff review a variety of information about each applicant to determine if a certificate can be granted to the moving company. This includes the application, business filings, federal DOT number, bond and insurance filing history, criminal background information and safety records.

If you’re looking to hire a moving company in Oregon, consider the following:
📦𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐎𝐃𝐎𝐓: You can find a list of certified movers on ODOT’s Household Goods Moving web page. Ask the mover to provide its certificate number.
📦𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Get recommendations from neighbors, friends, co-workers and real estate agents, or read and compare recent reviews on platforms like Yelp or Google for reliability.
📦𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: Oregon movers are required to give every customer the General Information Bulletin for Moving Household Goods in Oregon.
📦𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝: Victims of non-certified movers can report issues to the Department of Justice’s Consumer Protection Division.

Additional information about ODOT’s regulations and how to become a certified mover are available on our website at oregon.gov/odot/MCT/Pages/Household-Goods-Moving.aspx
