Clear moving rates.
Let’s talk them through.

Bend local moving · Weekday daytime

Bend-area local schedule (Item 3500), Column 1: Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., excluding tariff holidays. One-hour minimum. Billable time runs from departure from the carrier’s terminal until return to that terminal, computed to the nearest quarter-hour, subject to the minimum.

Bend local moving · Weekends & overtime

Bend-area local schedule (Item 3500), Column 2: hours outside Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., excluding tariff holidays. Five-hour minimum on Saturday and Sunday; one-hour minimum for non-holiday weekday overtime. Time is terminal to terminal, computed to the nearest quarter-hour. When a move spans rate periods, the time in each period uses its applicable rate.

Bend local moving · Tariff holidays

Bend-area local schedule (Item 3500), Column 3: the holidays defined in Item 110. Five-hour minimum, terminal-to-terminal time, computed to the nearest quarter-hour. See the holiday list below; this schedule does not simply follow bank holidays.

The clock includes the journey to you.

Under the Bend-area local schedule, time begins when the vehicle leaves the carrier’s terminal and ends when it returns. Loading, driving between properties, unloading and the terminal travel are part of that clock. Time is computed to the nearest quarter-hour, subject to the applicable minimum. It is not a door-to-door-only clock or automatic rounding up of every partial quarter-hour.

The minimum is one hour at times other than Saturday, Sunday or a tariff holiday. On those days it is five hours. Weekday evening overtime uses the overtime hourly rate but retains the one-hour minimum when the day is not a tariff holiday.

If the move crosses a rate boundary, the work in each period uses that period’s rate. For example, non-holiday Friday work from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. is four hours at the daytime rate and three at the overtime rate under Item 3100(D). A truck returning after 5 p.m. can therefore involve overtime time too.

A minimum is a billing floor.

For two movers and one truck under the Bend schedule, the weekday daytime one-hour minimum is $150.65. On a non-holiday Saturday or Sunday, the five-hour minimum at $195.40 per hour is $977.00. On a tariff holiday, five hours at $238.55 per hour is $1,192.75.

These examples show the minimum time charge for that crew and schedule. Materials, valuation protection and other applicable services can add to the total; a move taking longer than the minimum is charged for its billable time. We explain the crew, time periods and service details before you book.

Check the date, not just the day of the week.

Item 110 defines the tariff holidays as New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Christmas Eve is included. The tariff list does not simply match every employer’s or bank’s calendar. Tell us your preferred date so we can identify the applicable rate period and minimum in your estimate.

Put packing and extra services on the plan.

Packing at a time other than the movement on a local tariff move is charged per packer under Item 3100(F), with no van charge. Materials follow Item 3990. Wardrobe cartons are not charged unless you retain them. If you order delivery or pickup of packing materials at a time other than moving day, Item 3100(I) lists $40.85 for each pickup or delivery service.

A mileage-rated Oregon shipment has separate provisions for packing, unpacking, containers and accessorial services in Section 2. For those shipments, distance is based on the actual origin and destination using Google Maps and one-way mileage. We prepare a custom estimate using the applicable route, shipment and service details.

Show us stairs, elevators, long carries, additional stops and specialty pieces during the survey. These details affect the work and may involve applicable tariff services; the local hourly rate is not a promise that every additional service is free.

Choose protection before the first item moves.

For regulated Oregon household-goods moves, valuation is a choice recorded on the bill of lading. Item 848 describes no-additional-cost Released Value Protection at 60 cents per pound per article and Replacement Cost Protection based on $6.00 per pound of shipment weight or the declared lump sum value, whichever is higher. The replacement-protection charge is $0.85 per $100, or fraction thereof, of that value.

For a 5,000-pound shipment with no higher declared value, the tariff’s $6-per-pound basis is $30,000 and the protection charge is $255. The same shipment declared at $40,000 has a $340 charge. Released Value Protection would pay at most $120 for a covered loss of a 200-pound dresser, based on its weight. Terms, limits and the circumstances of a claim matter; the options are not interchangeable.

We explain the options and obtain your written selection before a regulated move. If no written choice is obtained and the shipment is accepted, replacement protection applies at the shipper’s expense. You also receive the Oregon household-goods information bulletin and the moving paperwork for your service.

Compare the whole move.

When comparing movers, share the same inventory, access and packing request with each team. Then look at the crew, equipment, time basis, minimum, materials, valuation and additional services together. Ask us to explain any part of our estimate you would like to understand better.

We offer free in-person estimates and phone-assisted virtual surveys using our software. For a regulated Oregon household-goods move, the written estimate follows an in-person or agreed live or prerecorded video inspection. Estimates are non-binding; final charges follow the applicable tariff and services performed. Added services require the appropriate estimate addendum.
