LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

What to know about moving in Oak Ridge

Oak Ridge moves follow the national-lab hiring calendar: ORNL and Y-12 bring a steady stream of scientists and contractors relocating from out of state, many into the flat-top and cemesto homes the Manhattan Project left behind, with narrow doorways and tight stairwells that reward an experienced crew. Jackson Square and Grove Center anchor the older core, while newer subdivisions spread toward Melton Hill Lake. It's about 25 minutes to Knoxville on Highway 62 or Pellissippi Parkway.

Peak season

May, June, July, August

Weekend slots fill 2–3 weeks out during peak months. Book early.

Crew recruited from Roane State Community College (Oak Ridge campus), University of Tennessee (nearby), university-affiliated, background-checked, accountable.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked about Oak Ridge moves

How much does it cost to move in Oak Ridge?

Every move is priced by the hour. The rate is locked before we start, with no stair fees, fuel surcharges, or hidden add-ons. Two movers run $112 per hour, and most moves run $200–$350 total for a 2-person crew over 2 to 3 hours. Larger homes that need a third mover or more hours run higher, with the rate locked before we start. Truck rental is separate if you need one. If we finish early, you pay less.

Do I need to provide a truck?

We're labor-only movers. You rent the truck from U-Haul, Penske, or Budget. We handle all the loading, unloading, and heavy lifting. We'll tell you the exact size to get and can book it for you if you want.

What's the Show-Up Guarantee?

We're confident enough in our show rate to put $50 behind every booking. If a mover arrives 30 minutes after the scheduled start, let us know and we'll knock $50 off your final bill.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Undergrads is a fully licensed and insured moving company in every market we serve, including Oak Ridge. Every move includes $1,000 in damage protection. If you're moving into a high-rise or building that requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI), contact us. We handle COI requests before move day.

What neighborhoods in Oak Ridge do you serve?

We serve all areas of Oak Ridge including Jackson Square, Grove Center, Woodland, Emory Valley, and more. If you're anywhere in the Oak Ridge metro area, we can likely help. Call (865) 500-5156 if you're unsure.

Where can I pick up a U-Haul near Oak Ridge?

The closest U-Haul pickups to central Oak Ridge are Kuntrys Produce (1907 Oliver Springs Hwy, Clinton, TN 37716, 1.1 miles); Mail Center Etc (969 Oak Ridge Turnpike, Oak Ridge, TN 37830, 1.4 miles); Gameover Towing (150 Midway Ln, Oak Ridge, TN 37830, 1.6 miles). Tell us your home size and we'll name the truck to reserve, and our crew meets you at your door.

How far is Oak Ridge from Knoxville?

About 34 minutes (26 miles) from central Knoxville without traffic. Oak Ridge is part of our Knoxville service area, so the same crews cover both, at the same hourly rate, locked before we start.

How quickly can you schedule a move?

Same-week scheduling is available in Oak Ridge most of the year. Weekend dates in peak season (May–September) fill fast; book early if you have a fixed date. We're available 7 days a week.

Can I cancel or reschedule my move?

Yes. Cancellation is free 48 hours before your move, and rescheduling costs nothing with the same notice. The $5 reservation simply holds your date; you pay for the move after it happens.
