About American Independent Movers
For over 25 years, we've been helping families and businesses move smarter in Southern Oregon. Our labor-only model puts you in control while saving you money.
Our Story
American Independent Movers was founded with a simple idea: moving doesn't have to be expensive or stressful. By focusing on what we do best—providing skilled, professional moving labor—we let our customers save money by handling the transportation themselves.
Based in Grants Pass, Oregon, we've grown from a small local operation to the trusted name in labor-only moving services across Josephine and Jackson Counties. Our success comes from one thing: treating every customer's move like it's our own.
Whether you're moving across town or across the state, whether it's a studio apartment or a large commercial warehouse, our experienced crew brings the same dedication, care, and efficiency to every job.
Meet Joe Clark
Owner & Lead Mover
"I started this company because I saw too many people paying way too much for moving services. The traditional model is broken—you're paying for expensive trucks, corporate overhead, and hidden fees."
"With AIM, you get professional movers who know what they're doing, at a fair price. We're not trying to upsell you or lock you into packages. We're here to help you move, period."
"After 25 years in this business, I still love what I do. There's something satisfying about helping a family settle into their new home or getting a business up and running in a new location. That's why we show up every day ready to work."

Why Labor-Only?
Our labor-only model isn't just about saving money—it's about giving you control. You choose the truck that fits your needs. You set the schedule. You decide how to manage your move. We provide the professional muscle and expertise to make it happen.
This approach typically saves our customers 30-50% compared to traditional full-service movers, without sacrificing quality or professionalism.
