What Is a Long-Distance Move?
A long-distance move is defined as any relocation generally exceeding 500 kilometers from your starting point.
In Canada, this type of long-distance move often involves travel between different cities or provinces, such as a Montreal to Toronto move (approximately 550 km) or a Montreal to Rimouski move (over 500 km).
What sets a long-distance move apart from a local move is the logistical complexity it entails.
Planning must be meticulous, transport time is longer, and the challenges differ. Long-distance movers need to consider many specific factors:
- The exact distance to be covered and transport time
- Road regulations between provinces
- Additional protection for belongings during the long journey
- Precise coordination of arrival schedules
- Required permits for interprovincial transport
Our long-distance moving company has the expertise and specialized equipment to meet these requirements.
We handle moves between Quebec, Ontario, and the Maritime provinces, ensuring the safety of your belongings throughout the journey.
