Our Philosophy 

Axle Moving was founded on a simple belief: every student-athlete deserves access to a high-paying part-time job.


Why? Because student-athletes are some of the hardest-working, most dedicated individuals. They juggle practices, games, schoolwork, and life—all while striving to achieve their goals on and off the field. Their busyness shouldn’t prevent them from finding work that values their hustle. If they can commit to working hard—even one day a week or one season a year—they deserve a job that works for them. Period.


Axle Moving makes it their mission to connect with local coaches and athletic directors to identify when athletes can work and what they need. For example, if a group of five basketball players all have one day a week available, Axle will tailor its advertising and job scheduling to ensure that day is packed with opportunities for all of them.


The best part? Most student-athletes have summers off to work, and in the moving industry, summer just happens to be the busiest season. It’s a match made in heaven: hardworking athletes ready to go during the peak moving months.


At Axle Moving, the focus isn’t just on moving furniture—it’s on moving opportunities, empowerment, and the belief that hard work deserves reward.

THE AXLE STORY

Axle Moving isn’t your average moving company. Founded in 2021 on a college campus in Portland, Oregon, by 21-year-olds Alex Rentsch and Dayton Browers (with a little help from their college basketball buddies), Axle was built on a game-changing idea: take care of one customer, one athlete, and one community at a time. What started as a side hustle to help their teammates cover rent when scholarships fell short has quickly turned into a full-court press on the moving industry. Fast forward to today, and Axle Moving is the highest-rated independent moving company in Oregon—still 100% athlete-owned, operated, and staffed. By turning a passion for exceptional customer service into a thriving business, Axle is reshaping the way people think about moving.
