Boise sits at the far end of a long, dry stretch of I-84 — past Pendleton and Baker City, over the Blue Mountains, and across the high desert into Idaho. It’s the kind of drive where a lot of moving companies quietly split the job: one truck to a transfer point, another crew for the last leg. We don’t run it that way. The same people who load your Portland home ride all 430 miles and carry the same boxes into the Boise address.
Russell Voss walks every Boise-bound home before he quotes it, because a long carry to a truck parked on a narrow street or a piano on a second floor changes the real cost more than the extra highway miles do. Whatever he finds gets priced into the number that day, so nothing new shows up on the invoice once the crew is 430 miles from home.
Expect a one-day drive after loading for most households, with an extra day built in for larger households where packing and staging take longer than the highway does.
Portland → Boise — What It Runs
| Home Size | Flat-Rate Estimate | Usual Transit Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1BR / Small Load | $990 | 1-day drive after loading |
| 2-3BR Home | $1,370 | 1-2 days |
| 4BR+ Household | $1,800 | 2-3 days |
Treat these numbers as a starting budget — Russell Voss locks in the one-number estimate once he’s priced your home size and the access at both ends of the route, and that number doesn’t move once it’s written.
Moving Portland to Boise?
One crew handles both ends of the haul — the same people who load the truck at our Portland yard are the ones carrying it in at the delivery address
The crew that loads the truck in Portland is the same crew that rides the route and unloads it in Boise — nothing gets transferred to a different truck partway, there’s no reweigh at a scale, and no broker is splitting the job between two companies. Russell Voss prices the lane off real distance and cubic footage before the truck ever leaves Portland, and the number he writes that day is the number on the invoice — a run out to Sacramento gets locked in the same way a same-day job across the metro would.
