Movers Tacoma to Portland

Tacoma to Portland runs about 145 miles down I-5, crossing the Columbia River at the Interstate Bridge into Oregon. It’s far enough that we schedule it as a proper long-haul day — not a quick in-and-out — but short enough that your belongings usually arrive the same day or the next morning, depending on load time and when your crew hits the road.

A lot of the calls we get on this route mention Oregon’s lack of state sales tax as part of the reason for the move, especially for people buying furniture or a vehicle down there. Whatever the reason, the drive itself is straightforward: I-5 the entire way, no mountain passes, no unpredictable weather closures like you’d get heading east. The main variables are the bridge crossing at Vancouver/Portland and normal I-5 congestion near Chehalis and the Portland metro on the Oregon side.

• One truck, one crew, Tacoma to your Portland-area door
• Furniture disassembly and reassembly included on request
• Inventory list provided before loading so nothing gets left behind
• $1M cargo coverage on every load we run

This isn’t a load we hand off to a broker who finds someone else to drive it — it’s our own truck making the run under our own federal authority, with the same crew that picked it up in Tacoma dropping it off in Portland.
