Moving From Bakersfield to Portland on One Truck

A dedicated truck carries your home the whole way from Bakersfield to Portland, with a delivery window agreed in writing before loading. The movers who wrap your furniture completed our training program, and Mentors Moving & Storage holds an A+ rating as a BBB Accredited business.

Portland counted 652,503 residents in the 2020 Census. Before your move is scheduled, we ask about stairs, parking and building rules at your new address.

How Much Do Bakersfield to Portland Movers Cost?

Three things set your price inside its range on this long haul.

01

Shipment size

The more rooms and heavy pieces, the more truck space and loading time.

02

Portland access

Steep steps, narrow streets and long carries add time at delivery.

03

Time of year

Summer fills first, and winter crossings of the passes need flexible dates.

What Bakersfield Customers Say After Their Move

Rated 5 out of 5

Mentors Movers came highly recommended and we are sure glad we had their help! This was our first big move in 35 years and Mentors Movers were so professional and kind. Daniel Salcido, Jr., Alex Chavez and Justin Nichols made the experience less stressful and so effecient! We know all of our items were handled with care and securely packed. Thank you for your help with our move.

I was so impressed by the moving team at Mentors Moving. They were extremely methodical in moving our 3 bdr. Homes furniture by carefully wrapping each piece and loading it on the truck like a boss! All three (3) movers had great attitudes and worked very well together. They reminded me of a well oiled machine working together or maybe even a championship sports team.

Hands-down the best experience I’ve ever had with movers !! Very very nice guys ! Quick and efficient. They did everything with a smile. I cannot recommend this company any higher. On a scale from 1 to 10 – I give them an 11 !!

Planning Your Move From Bakersfield to Portland

Five steps for the weeks before loading day.

Your progress0 of 5
1

Pick a Season

Summer is the easiest time to cross the passes, and late summer can bring fire closures. Winter needs flexible dates.

2

Ask for Your Estimate Type

Your written estimate must say whether it is binding or non-binding. Ask what that means for your move.

3

Measure Steps and Doors

Older Portland homes can have steep stairs. Measure your largest pieces against them.

4

Prepare for Rain

Plan a covered spot at the door for boxes on a wet delivery day.

5

Set Up Utilities

Arrange power, water and internet at the Portland address before the truck arrives.

Federal Estimate Rules for Your Portland Move

Before you sign the bill of lading, the mover must give you a written estimate that says whether it is binding or non-binding, under 49 CFR 375.401. A binding estimate sets the total for the goods and services it lists.

Read the FMCSA booklet Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move and the Protect Your Move page before loading.

In Portland, homeowners start garbage service with the company assigned to their neighborhood, while renters leave it to the landlord. Garbage goes every other week and recycling and compost every week. For a zone parking permit, upload a lease, bank statement or utility bill dated within 30 days.
