Spokane to Portland, one crew the whole way
Portland is 350 miles southwest, about 5.5 hours down I-90 to I-82 and onto I-84 along the Columbia River Gorge. Households make the move for a tech or healthcare role, a relocation, or the bigger Willamette Valley market.

This is a true long-distance day. The driving isn’t what unsettles people; the worry is whether their things ride safe down the Gorge and whether the crew turns up as promised.
Where Pettinger parts from the cut-rate shops
We won’t park your load at a Tri-Cities warehouse to finish on an outside hauler’s rig, and we won’t pen you into a fuzzy multi-day window. The same crew that finishes your Spokane home drives it the whole way to Portland, delivery date set from the first call.
Assembling the Portland run
It starts at the loading end, and Greg plots the route along the Columbia Gorge, where wind and winter ice can slow I-84 at elevation.
- Survey both ends the Spokane basement stairs and gravel driveway are read and the carry mapped
- Inventory and cushion every piece is listed and padded for a 350-mile run down the Gorge
- Plot the route the I-90 / I-82 / I-84 line is timed around wind, ice, and Portland metro traffic
- Drive it through one crew carries the load to Portland with no Tri-Cities depot in the middle
- Set the date a real delivery date, with Spokane storage if the closing has yet to settle
