Saguenay, which includes Chicoutimi, Jonquière and La Baie, is about 465 km from Montreal. The truck follows Highway 40 to Quebec City, then Highway 73 and Route 175 through the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve to Chicoutimi.
This route is not one of our published packages: we organize it like our other long-distance moves, with furniture protected for the road and a price set by free quote, based on your volume, access and date.
From a plex in the Plateau to a downtown condo, we match the crew and truck to your home. For a move within the city, see our Moving Montreal page.
When leaving Montreal, plan the truck’s parking a few days ahead: depending on the borough and the street, a permit may be required, with lead times ranging from 24 hours to 5 business days. In an apartment building, also book the service elevator and let the superintendent know when loading starts.
Saguenay includes the Chicoutimi, Jonquière and La Baie sectors, with varied access between houses, plexes and apartment buildings. The route crosses the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve on Route 175; the schedule takes the season and road conditions into account.
Prepare a list of your large furniture and mark each box with its destination room. In Saguenay, tell us the sector and any outdoor stairs: having someone on site to guide the crew speeds up unloading considerably.
From Montreal, Highway 40 runs along the north shore of the river through Repentigny and Trois-Rivières to Quebec City. North of Quebec City, Highway 73 becomes Route 175, a four-lane divided road that crosses the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve for more than 150 km before descending to Chicoutimi.
Services are scarce inside the reserve, so we refuel and take breaks before entering it. In winter, heavy snow can slow the road down; we check Québec 511 before leaving and let you know if the schedule changes.
For Saguenay, tell us the borough you are moving to (Chicoutimi, Jonquière or La Baie): the distances between them are long and affect the delivery schedule.
Sort before you go, then make an inventory room by room, including the shed, garage and basement. Well-sealed boxes labelled by room are unloaded faster on arrival.
Many Montreal homes are upstairs, with outdoor staircases that are sometimes spiral. Tell us the floor, the type of staircase and your heaviest furniture so we can plan the crew and loading time.
Depending on the borough, a space may need to be reserved for the truck in front of your door, with a permit or temporary signs: check with your borough a few days before moving day. In a tower, book the service elevator and loading dock.
Downtown Chicoutimi has several sloping streets and many upstairs units; near UQAC and the Cégep, small apartments are common. In Jonquière and La Baie, you mostly find houses with driveways.
Tell us where the truck can park on arrival and how far it is to the door. In winter, overnight parking rules may apply: check them with the City of Saguenay.
