Parking permits and truck rules in Portland
Portland asks for at least three business days from application to permit issue when reserving street space, so apply ahead of move day. Source: Portland Bureau of Transportation: Temporary Street Use Permitting.
Portland parking reservation signs must be placed on wooden or plastic barricades at least 24 inches wide and 30 inches tall. Source: Portland Bureau of Transportation: Temporary Street Use Permitting.
Reservation signs only become enforceable 72 hours after Parking Enforcement verifies they are installed correctly, so they need to go up well before move day. Source: Portland Bureau of Transportation: Temporary Street Use Permitting.
Once you know the city or building rules for the new address, send them over and we plan the truck around them.

Every piece of furniture is fully wrapped and protected with moving blankets and tape, at no extra charge.

How a Portland move is priced
There is no hourly clock on a move to Portland; the price follows weight. Your written estimate lists the rate per pound and a minimum space reservation. Weight above the reservation costs the same rate. The estimate is non-binding: the scale sets the final number.
Prefer one fixed number? Ask for a flat fee based on reserving an entire truck. The fee is binding and includes guaranteed pickup and delivery. One crew handles both ends, with no accessorial charges.
After loading you get the scale ticket and the net weight. The estimate starts with a free on-site inspection of the home.
Delivery window
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
Pick that date carefully: it is the first day the Portland home can take the shipment. A reserved truck gives fixed dates if you need them.
What can be added at delivery
Four delivery-side services may apply on a weight-based move: stairs past the first flight, a walk of more than 100 feet, an elevator, or a shuttle to a smaller truck. We note the likely ones on your estimate.
Included in the per-pound rate
Mileage, taxes and tolls are part of the rate. Loading and unloading, disassembly and reassembly, and a labeled inventory of every item are part of it too. We bring blankets and tape at no charge; other materials are charged as used. Basic valuation is $0.60 per pound per article, and full value protection can be bought from Baker International (account ID 17421). Packing service can be added per pound; unpacking at the new home is not included.
Payment and discounts
Payment is split, 50% when we load and 50% when we deliver in Portland. Payment: Cash, Money Order, Visa, or Mastercard (3% transaction fee applies for card payments). If the balance goes on a card, it is due a day ahead of delivery. Returning customers and real-estate-agent referrals get 7% off, and friend referrals 5%.
