Our dedication, diligence and professionalism will ensure that your cargo is moved safely and you don't have to worry about ANYTHING!

Long distance moves charges are based mainly on the weight of your items and the distance they need to be moved. It just makes sense that moving a sparsely furnished four-room house from Toronto to Winnipeg will be cheaper than moving a twenty-room house packed with furniture from Toronto to Barrie. Because weight is perhaps the biggest determinant of price for a long distance move, here is something you must know:

The fees for a long distance move are determined by the weight of your cargo and by the distance between the pick-up and drop-off locations with weight playing a more important role in price determination. This is why it will be cheaper to move a sparsely furnished 4-bedroom house from Toronto to Winnipeg than to move a heavily furnished 10-bedroom house from Toronto to Barrie. Here is some additional information that will help you understand the way fees for long distance moves are determined and to be well prepared for your move:

The weight of your items is measured by weighing the loaded truck on a scale. Truck scales are located on all major highways and at some moving facilities. The weight of your cargo is determined by subtracting the weight of the empty truck, called "empty weight" from the weight of the loaded truck. You are allowed to accompany the driver to the scale during the weighing to ensure that everything is in order. Make sure that your mover provides you with an "empty weight" receipt.

In order to avoid additional charges during the interstate move, you must:

• Know the layout of your new community or apartment complex.
• Find out whether the destination area can accommodate a huge truck.
• Find out the building restrictions in advance.
• Make arrangements about walkway/elevator access.

It is not the responsibility of the moving company to research the destination are and to make appropriate move-in  arrangements. Therefore, the better you are prepared, the smother is your move!
