Planning range, not a bid. Research fallback compiled in September 2026 from published industry tables and public quote examples. Haulest does not yet have a large enough first-party sample to publish a median. A phone survey still wins.
On the ground
Ottawa winter is a fee. Condo corporations want a weekday elevator slot and a certificate of insurance. Older walk-ups in Centretown have tight turns. There is no federal mover licence. What you can check is a CVOR if the trucking company is in Ontario, insurance, and a name that matches the van. GST/HST belongs on the invoice. A hop to Toronto is interprovincial in spirit even when both ends sit in Ontario building rules. If the quote is cash-only and the crew is a different company than the website, stop.
A January walk-up on an iced outdoor stair, with a sofa that will not turn, is overtime before anyone mentions the Queensway.
