Seven unauthorized household goods movers cited during joint operation in Oregon

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) partnered with several law enforcement agencies for a crackdown on unauthorized moving companies.

On June 25, 2025, ODOT and local law enforcement agencies “invited unauthorized companies that advertise moving services to locations in Clackamas County,” officials said in a news release.

Seven unauthorized moving companies responded to the invitation. Their trucks were inspected and citations were issued. The companies were also educated on how to become authorized household goods moving companies in the state of Oregon.

The current penalty for a moving company operating without a certificate is $1,000. That penalty will rise to $3,000 starting January 1, 2026, and will expand to also include offering, advertising or transporting without a certificate, according to ODOT.

“Transportation of household goods in Oregon is a heavily regulated industry that safeguards the public’s personal safety as well as their assets,” explained ODOT Commerce and Compliance Division Investigation and Compliance Manager Leah Cisneros. “Operations like these are designed to enforce regulations, educate moving companies on the correct way to operate in the state and uphold the integrity of reputable moving companies.”

Participating agencies include the Clackamas County and Washington County Sheriff’s Offices, and the Beaverton, Oregon City, and Wilsonville Police Departments.
