A truck of your own, or a shared truck

With a dedicated truck, your things go straight from Ottawa to Vancouver. With a shared truck, you pay for the space you use and the truck stops for other households on the way, so delivery takes longer. For a small load, about a studio or 1-bedroom, a shared truck usually costs much less.

Long-distance moves are priced by weight or volume. Ask for a certified weigh ticket, and know that you can ask for a reweigh at delivery. Our guide to moving a small load across Canada explains delivery windows and how to check the carrier.
