Oregon Cracks Down on Unlicensed Movers: Regulators Target Illegal Operations in Clackamas County

Oregon regulators are tightening enforcement on unlicensed moving companies, with a recent sweep in Clackamas County aimed at protecting consumers and legitimate operators. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) conducted undercover stings and issued citations to movers operating without proper household-goods authority.

Unlicensed movers often advertise cheap rates online, but they pose serious risks to customers. Without state authorization, they may not carry liability coverage or required background checks. This leaves consumers vulnerable to loss, damage, or even scams.

Licensed movers, meanwhile, are welcoming the crackdown. Many say stricter enforcement helps level the playing field and ensures customers receive safe, professional service. ODOT’s Household Goods Program continues to encourage residents to verify a mover’s license number before hiring.

As other states watch Oregon’s approach, this case underscores the importance of compliance and transparency in maintaining trust across the moving industry.
