From Montreal, the truck follows Highway 40 east along the north shore of the river to Trois-Rivières, then the Autoroute de l’Énergie (55) up the Saint-Maurice valley to Shawinigan. The trip is about 170 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.
Shawinigan grew in the early 20th century around the falls of the Saint-Maurice River and their hydroelectric plants. Since 2002, the city has also included Grand-Mère and Shawinigan-Sud, and it is the gateway to La Mauricie National Park.
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. At about two hours’ drive, loading and delivery are almost always done on the same day.
From Montreal, the truck takes Highway 40 east through Repentigny and Berthierville to Trois-Rivières. It then takes Highway 55, the Autoroute de l’Énergie, which runs along the Saint-Maurice River to Shawinigan and the Grand-Mère sector.
Allow about 1 hour 50 minutes of driving, not counting breaks. Over this distance, loading, the drive and delivery are usually done on the same day; the date and arrival time are agreed with you when you get your quote.
Make an inventory of your furniture and boxes, noting heavy or fragile items. Since the move stays within Quebec, you only need to update your address with the SAAQ, the RAMQ, Revenu Québec and your service providers.
Keep your documents, medication and keys close at hand, and pack a “first evening” box for your arrival in Shawinigan.
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.
Downtown Shawinigan and the Grand-Mère sector have many duplexes and triplexes with outdoor staircases, while Shawinigan-Sud and newer neighbourhoods mostly have houses with driveways.
Tell us the floor, the type of staircase and where the truck can park. In winter, overnight snow-removal parking bans may apply: check them with the City for your date.
