PORTLAND, OREGON · FAMILY-OWNED SINCE 2018
About Cal’s Moving & Storage
Formerly Moving Fellows. Same affordable labor-only and student moving help, same Portland crews — now backed by Oregon’s most-reviewed moving company.
Moving Fellows is now part of Cal’s Moving & Storage.
If you’ve used Moving Fellows for a labor-only move, a student dorm relocation, or any Portland-metro job — welcome back. The crew, the trucks, the team in Portland: same people. We’re now part of the larger Cal’s Moving & Storage family, and we want to tell you what that means for you.
How Cal’s Started
In the winter of 2018, Calvin Krech walked the halls of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house at Oregon State University with a simple pitch: help him move people on weekends and earn some cash. No fancy trucks. No warehouse. Just a group of fraternity brothers, a borrowed pickup, and the kind of work ethic you build hauling couches up three flights of stairs in the Corvallis rain.
What started as a way to fund his college life quickly became something bigger. By the end of that first year, Calvin was assembling three to five crews a day. As his fraternity brothers graduated, many joined the crew full-time. Cal’s started expanding north — and Calvin, originally from Southwest Portland, always planned to bring the company home.
Today, Cal’s Moving & Storage operates four branches across Oregon: Tigard, Beaverton, Corvallis, and Eugene. We have 50+ dedicated crew members, a fleet of 15 well-maintained trucks, and we’ve completed over 10,000 moves — including more than 500 long-distance interstate relocations.
“Hired as Movers, Left as Friends.”
What Changes for You
The honest answer: not much. Especially the parts you cared about.
Same labor-only service
Need help loading or unloading a U-Haul, POD, or your own truck? Cal’s “Labor Only Movers” service is the exact same offering you used Moving Fellows for. Same trained crews, hourly rate starting at $135/hour, two-person minimum, same insurance coverage. The service name changed; the service didn’t.
Same student moving
PSU, Reed College, Lewis & Clark — Cal’s “College Movers” service kept the affordable student rates Moving Fellows offered. Same flexible scheduling around finals, same summer storage option between semesters.
Same Portland team
The people who showed up at your dorm or your apartment — same crews. They wear Cal’s blue shirts now, but they’re the same trained, background-checked movers you trusted before.
Same transparent pricing
Cal’s has built its reputation on flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, no fuel surcharges, no move-day surprises. That’s the same approach Moving Fellows used.
What’s Better Now
Joining Cal’s gives the Portland team things Moving Fellows didn’t have on its own:
- A bigger crew pool. 50+ trained crew members across four Oregon branches means scheduling flexibility we couldn’t offer as a single-location company.
- Statewide reach. Moving from Portland to Salem, Eugene, Corvallis, or the Oregon Coast — now an in-house move with Cal’s, not a handoff.
- Climate-controlled storage. Cal’s operates secure storage facilities with climate-controlled options — useful for the summer-storage gap between semesters or any between-homes situation.
- 2,300+ five-star reviews. Moving Fellows had a few dozen reviews. Cal’s has 2,300+ across Google, Yelp, and Facebook.
- Wisetack financing. Cal’s offers flexible monthly payment options for larger moves.
