What Is Interstate Moving?
Interstate moving means you’re relocating to another state outside Oregon. It’s very different from a typical local move (like moving from First Addition to Lake Grove or Foothills in Lake Oswego). An interstate move must follow federal regulations and requires proper licensing, paperwork, and coordination across state lines.
Because of that, you need an experienced, licensed and insured moving company with staff who know the rules and actually do this kind of move. That’s exactly what we do.
Our core interstate moving services include:
Full packing and unpacking
Furniture disassembly and reassembly
Professional loading and unloading
Long-distance transport
Storage options if your new home isn’t ready
GPS tracking and delivery coordination
(We’ll explain all these in more detail below.)

Why Trust Moving Fellows for Your Interstate Move?
We understand moving is stressful. You’re not just moving boxes — you’re moving memories, furniture, electronics, artwork, and often a lifetime of stuff.
Here’s how we make it easier:
Licensed & Insured for Interstate Moves
We’re fully licensed with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and comply with FMCSA regulations, so your move follows all federal moving rules.
This matters because:
You avoid rogue companies that act as brokers and don’t actually move your stuff.
Your belongings are covered under moving insurance and delivery protections.
You get a binding estimate, not a surprise bill later.
(Unfortunately, some companies give low quotes then spike the price at delivery.)
Experienced Moving Professionals
We have years of experience with long-distance and interstate moves. Our crew:
Handles fragile and specialty items (like pianos, antiques, artwork)
Uses proper packing materials (bubble wrap, cardboard boxes, mattress bags)
Includes moving tools like dollies, tie-down straps, and protective blankets
This means fewer broken items and more peace of mind.
Real Local Reputation
We serve residents throughout Lake Oswego — from Forest Highlands to Blue Heron, Palisades, Uplands, and Evergreen. Locals trust us because we show up on time and follow through.
We also work with nearby communities like Tigard, Tualatin, West Linn, Beaverton, and Portland.

Yes. We have flexible storage options, including short-term and climate-controlled storage.
