What does access in Halifax add to the price?
Halifax Regional Municipality keeps an overnight winter parking ban from December 15 to March 31. It applies only during declared weather events and clearing, from 1 a.m. until 6 a.m. in the Regional Centre. A vehicle on the street can be ticketed or towed at the owner's expense, so quote off-street parking if the truck stays overnight between a two-day pack and load. Canada has no federal mover licence. Ask for proof of insurance, a written estimate after a look at the home, a legal name that matches the truck, and GST or HST on the invoice. Before a deposit, ask where the truck sleeps if the job runs two days.
The crew leaves the loaded truck on the street, and a declared overnight ban from 1 a.m. until 6 a.m. can mean a ticket or a tow.
