From Montreal, the truck follows Highway 40 to Quebec City, then Route 138 through Charlevoix, the Baie-Sainte-Catherine–Tadoussac ferry and the North Shore to Baie-Comeau. The trip is about 670 km.
This route is part of our long-distance moves: your furniture is protected with blankets and strapped in the truck, and both loading and delivery follow a schedule agreed in advance.
Whether you are leaving a Rosemont apartment, a West Island house or a downtown tower, we plan the crew according to your volume. For a local move, see our Moving Montreal page.
On the narrow streets of Montreal’s central neighbourhoods, plan space for the truck several days before the move: a permit may be needed depending on the borough. In a tower, book the service elevator and loading dock with management.
Baie-Comeau, on the North Shore, was founded in 1937 around a paper mill; today its aluminum smelter and port make it an industrial hub. The city brings together the Marquette sector to the west and the Mingan sector to the east.
This route is not one of our published packages: we organize it like our other long-distance moves, with a price set by free quote. The Saguenay crossing is made by a free ferry, built into the driving schedule.
From Montreal, the truck follows Highway 40 to Quebec City. It continues on Route 138 through Baie-Saint-Paul and La Malbaie, crosses the Saguenay on the free Baie-Sainte-Catherine–Tadoussac ferry (about 10 minutes), then follows the North Shore through Les Escoumins and Forestville to Baie-Comeau.
Allow about 8 hours 15 minutes on the road, ferry included, not counting breaks: a trip of this length usually takes more than one day. The delivery date is agreed with you when you get your quote.
Make a detailed inventory of your furniture and boxes, and tell us about heavy or fragile items. The move stays within Quebec: update your address with the SAAQ, the RAMQ and your service providers.
Pack a suitcase for the days on the road and your first days in Baie-Comeau, and keep important documents, valuables and keys with you.
When leaving Montreal, check with your borough: a permit may be required to reserve the space in front of your door, with a lead time of 24 hours to 5 business days.
In a building, book the service elevator and let the superintendent know the loading time; in a plex, tell us about outdoor staircases and narrow passages.
Baie-Comeau is built on hilly ground: some streets are steep and many houses have an outdoor staircase. You mostly find single-family homes and small apartment buildings.
Tell us the sector, the slope of the street and where the truck can park. In winter, have the driveway cleared and check snow-removal parking rules with the City.
