Tips for a smooth move
- If your move crosses the harbour (Halifax ↔ Dartmouth), confirm how travel time and routing is handled in the quote.
- Downtown parking can be tight—confirm where the truck can legally stop and whether you need to reserve a loading spot.
- Weather can change quickly—ask about rain protection and floor protection for wet days.
- Ask what’s included in the quote (travel time, fuel, stairs, long carries, packing materials) so pricing stays clear.
