Tips for a smooth move

  • GO Train Commuter Moves: Oshawa is Lakeshore East GO line's eastern terminus, so moves into neighbourhoods near Oshawa GO (Lakeview, Centennial, downtown) are popular with Toronto commuters. Mention proximity to GO if it affects loading access.
  • Ontario Tech & Trent Durham Student Moves: September move-ins and April-May move-outs are extremely busy near the north Oshawa campuses (Windfields, Samac, Conlin). Book 4+ weeks ahead for these dates — student moves often fill before regular bookings.
  • Northglen & Taunton Family Homes: These newer subdivisions have larger 3-4 bedroom homes and back-of-house garages. Confirm truck size and access — 26' trucks usually fit; 53' tractor-trailers may need to shuttle.
  • Highway 401 Eastbound Mid-Day Window: For moves to/from Oshawa via the 401, the late-morning/early-afternoon window typically has the lightest traffic. Rush-hour moves can add 45+ minutes.
  • GM Plant Legacy Homes: Many Oshawa homes built in the 1950s-70s near the former GM plant have narrow stairwells and original hardwood. Mention any oversize furniture (sectionals, king mattresses) so the mover plans accordingly.
