Cross-Canada Moving from Toronto
Shared container, dedicated container, or dedicated truck — matched to your move size and timeline. Transit 5–21 days.
Viamar uses a warehouse-based logistics model for domestic moves: pallet-measured quoting, in-house consolidation at our Courtice, Ontario warehouse, and intermodal rail coordination. The same operational discipline we bring to international freight, applied to Canadian long-distance moves.
Planning a summer move? Shared containers fill quickly June–August. Book 4–6 weeks in advance.
Four service tiers. One company.
Each tier is matched to a different combination of move size, budget, and timing. You tell us where you’re going and what you’re moving — we recommend the right option and quote by visible space, not a vague weight estimate.
Pricing varies by route, volume, building access, and season. Request a quote for current rates on your specific move.
Shared Container Moving
Cost-efficient LCL service consolidated in-house at our Courtice warehouse. Shipments travel on standardized 7′×4′ pallets. Best for studios and 1–2 bedroom apartments. Typical transit 7–10 days westbound.
Dedicated Container Moving
Your own sealed 20′ or 40′ container via intermodal rail. No shared handling — only your goods inside. Best for 2–4 bedroom moves. Typical transit 10–14 days.
Dedicated Truck Service
Direct highway service, door-to-door. Fastest option — 5–7 days coast to coast. Best for full household moves and time-sensitive delivery.
Storage & Cross-Docking
Viamar’s own Courtice warehouse for staging, consolidation, and phased moves. Short or medium-term storage before dispatch. In-house — not third-party.

How we measure your move
Most long-distance movers quote on estimated weight — a number you can’t easily verify or compare. Viamar quotes on visible space: cubic feet and standardized 7′×4′ pallet equivalents. The quote is easier to understand, easier to check, and easier to hold the mover accountable to.
How a cross-Canada move with Viamar works

Count rooms and large items, or describe your household. We convert to pallet count and cubic feet — the basis for your quote.
Share your route + timing
Origin, destination, preferred move window, and whether you need storage flexibility or a direct delivery.
Receive a service recommendation
We recommend shared container, dedicated container, or dedicated truck based on your volume, timeline, and budget priority.
Schedule loading
Container moves are staged at our Courtice warehouse. Truck service loads directly from your address.
Transit + delivery
Container moves travel via intermodal rail. Truck moves travel direct highway. You receive updates throughout and coordinate final delivery.
Why customers choose Viamar for cross-Canada moves
Clearer quoting
We quote by visible space — cubic feet and pallet count. Not an estimated weight you can’t verify. Transparent and easy to compare against other quotes.
Real infrastructure
Own Courtice warehouse, own trucks, intermodal rail coordination. We are not a broker. Consolidation happens in our own facility, not at a third party’s.
Service tiers, not one size
Studio apartments don’t need a dedicated truck. Four-bedroom homes shouldn’t be in a shared container. We match the service to your move size from the start.
