Priority One Moving Services
Free, No-Obligation Estimate
Ardis Coleman has led this crew since 2013 and has not looked back once. The century-old South Eugene bungalows, the downtown lofts, the campus-area student rentals, and the last-minute jobs other companies would rather skip are all routine for us, and you walk away with a flat price in writing and no surprises.

Three Steps to Moving Day
From the very first hello all the way to the last carton set down in the room it belongs in.
Tell Us About the Move
Tell us about the move by phone, on a quick video call, or right here through the form. What comes back is a written flat rate, not a fuzzy guess that swells the minute the truck is loaded.
Lock In Your Date
Pick your date and we match the crew and truck to it, then take care of whatever comes up: a curbside parking permit, a building certificate of insurance, or a held freight elevator.
We Carry the Load
One lead sees it through beginning to end, wrapping, loading, driving, and placing every piece, supported by our own Eugene crew, and we route the drive around I-5, the Beltline, and Highway 99 to keep the schedule on track.

Coverage that reaches from the first pad we drape over your furniture to the last carton carried up to the top floor.
Fully Insured
Every job carries cargo and liability coverage, and we go over your valuation options with you long before a signature.
Rain or Shine
This is the Willamette Valley, so we show up ready for the wet. We bring our own door and floor coverings, tarp and shrink-wrap anything that could catch the rain, and keep the carry moving so a soggy Oregon day never soaks your furniture or drags out the move.
Padded & Wrapped
We pad, shrink-wrap, and strap down each item snugly. In the rare event a piece takes a knock, we point it out at once and set it right.
Done Right
An honest price, a crew that genuinely takes pride in the work, and nobody leaves until each item sits precisely where you want it.
Honest Pricing
Nothing hidden in the fine print, and no surprise fuel fee dropped on you at the curb. Here is how the whole number comes together.
- 2 movers + a fully stocked truck
- Pads, dollies, and wrap included
- After the first hour, billed by the minute
- Optional flat cap in writing
What shapes your price
- How much is coming and the home size
- Distance across the metro and out to the suburbs
- Stairs, freight elevators, COIs, and parking
- Day of week, season, and the weather
- Packing and specialty pieces (piano, safe)
Family-Run, Not Brokered
Everyone who shows up is on our own payroll, never day-labor scraped off an app that same morning. Each passes a background check and trains alongside the team long before touching a stick of your furniture.
- Background-checked and on our own payroll
- Used to tight stairwells, freight elevators, and dock check-ins
- Your lead runs the job start to finish, first box to last
Clean, Marked Trucks
Each truck we run has the Priority One Moving Services name and DOT number right on the door. Notice a bare rental truck pull up to your curb instead? That is not us.
- Company trucks with liftgates, kept in service
- Stocked with pads, dollies, straps, and shrink
- Sized for tight city streets and suburban driveways alike
The Story Behind the Name
“Back in 2013 I started Priority One Moving Services with one truck and a single promise: an honest flat rate, my own people on every job, and your belongings looked after like they were mine. No brokers, no runaround.”
We train our crews on what really throws a Eugene move off: those steep original staircases in the South Eugene and Whiteaker bungalows, the certificate of insurance and reserved elevator at a downtown or campus building, the student move-in rush every fall near the university, and the Willamette Valley rain that means tarps and floor coverings on every job. Keeping a customer around for the next ten years matters far more to us than grabbing one fast payday.

Questions We Hear a Lot
What will my move cost?
It comes down to how much you are moving and how tricky the access is at both ends. Pricing on a two-mover truck begins at $110/hr, and you get a written, line-by-line estimate in your hands before anyone touches a box. Want a guaranteed ceiling? Ask us to set a flat cap and the number you sign becomes the absolute most you can be charged. For any move that heads out of state, we switch over to a rate built on weight and distance.
My South Eugene bungalow has a tight, steep staircase. Is that going to be a problem?
Not at all, that is our bread and butter. Those old craftsman homes across South Eugene, College Hill, and the Whiteaker usually come with original steep stairs, pinched doorways, and stepped front porches. For over ten years we have measured out every tight turn, padded the jambs and handrails, and carried by hand whatever will not swing around a corner.
Do you handle a downtown loft or student apartment move where the building demands a COI?
Constantly, and that includes the buildings right by the University of Oregon. A downtown loft or a student high-rise generally wants a certificate of insurance on record and the elevator held for a fixed window. We submit the COI to the building office, lock down the elevator, wrap the cab and the corridors in pads, and wrap up within your reserved slot so the dock frees up right on time.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes indeed. Priority One Moving Services holds Oregon household-goods authority and full coverage, and it is our own crew on your job from start to finish, with no broker sneaking in to take a cut. We are happy to walk through the authority numbers and the insurance with you, and we cover your valuation choices before anything is finalized.
There is no driveway here and street parking is tight. Can you work around that?
Absolutely, we run into it all the time on Whiteaker, downtown, and older-block moves. Give us the address when you book and we line up a truck space, a loading zone, or the building dock, then adjust the carry to whatever room the street leaves us. The crew rolls in prepared to load right off the curb instead of a driveway.
Do you take a deposit?
Just a small refundable one to hold your spot on the calendar, and it applies right to your final invoice, so it is never money out of pocket. Give us a couple of days notice on a cancellation and every dollar comes back to you. Every bit of that is spelled out on your booking from day one.
How and when do I pay?
You do not pay a cent until the whole job is finished, never a moment ahead of that. Cards, checks, and cash all work. Right before the crew heads out, you go over the final total together at your door and give the sign-off.
Is there anything you won’t load?
Just a short list, and it all comes down to safety and legal rules: propane, gasoline, paint, and anything that can catch fire, plus ammunition, live plants, food that can spoil, and pets. Have something extra large, unusually heavy, or high in value? Let us know at booking so the right crew and gear come along.
What Our Customers Say
If you're looking for professional, friendly, efficient movers, Priority One is for you! Ardis responded to my very last minute request to unpack my 16-foot box truck with a quickness and could not have been nicer, even while they were lugging my heaviest furniture up a flight of stairs. They showed up on time, brought their own protective door and floor coverings, and were great with my overly protective dog. Also, their prices couldn't be more competitive! Thank you, Priority One!
These guys helped me move on short notice and did a great job for an affordable rate! It's just taken me forever to write a review. No scratches or bumps. Very hard working and kind. I appreciated everything they helped me out with!
