About Our Family Owned Moving Company

Serving and Moving the World From The Pacific Northwest

Blue Bird / Atlas - a Portland, Oregon moving company, has been serving the Northwest, national and international communities since 1928. As a family owned and operated business, the company always goes the extra mile for the families and businesses it serves. Blue Bird thrives on excellence, innovation and quality in its moving operations.

Whether moving families across the Portland area, across the country, sensitive computer equipment to the next state, or storing and moving chemicals to the next county, Blue Bird / Atlas has focused on doing the job right the first time. We hold one of the lowest damage claim records in the industry and enjoy repeat customers-a rarity in the moving industry. Blue Bird has customers who have used our moving services fifteen and twenty times, from coast to coast, including heads of corporations who refuse to move with anyone but Blue Bird.

Tradition of Excellence in Moving and Storage

Blue Bird has been honored with the Best Small Business Award for the state of Washington.  We are also high ranking within Atlas Van Lines agency system for customer service. The owners believe these awards reflect the caliber of our professional staff, people who have been with Blue Bird for many years and undergo continual training to improve their skills. Our training focuses on continually improving customer quality and Blue Bird's internal systems. The company's philosophy believes if its employees are treated well and form a cohesive workforce, our customers will also be treated well and enjoy their moving service.

As agents in the Atlas Van Lines system, one of the world's best, the Blue Bird / Atlas service is extended nationally and internationally. Many of our innovations reflect the quality standard of our national partner, Atlas. We own our own fleet of trucks which gives us the control and capability to manage our timetable, bookings and physical moves.

Technologically a Move Ahead

Blue Bird has an integrated, state-of-the-art computer system for easy tracking of moves, using round the clock visuals, from start to finish. We use a modernized, electronic dispatch system that provides a hands-on look at any shipment and at any facility on demand, providing speed and responsiveness to our customers.

Electronic dispatch also cuts down on paper work for the office and the customer which also cuts costs, a distinctive advantage. Blue Bird's continued focus on innovation to reduce costs and improve transport service and timing is the primary reason we lead the industry.

Environmentally Concerned

Blue Bird cares for its customers with an eye to protecting the environment. By employing effective technology and systems, everything that can be recycled is implemented into the day-to-day operations, including every piece of paper in the office, the boxes we use for packing, and the tires and oils used in the vehicles.
