One crew, start to finish
The same crew that loads your home in Sherwood Park unloads it at the other end, whether that is Calgary, Red Deer, or a work camp near Fort McMurray. Nothing gets handed to a different team partway through.
That matters most on the long runs north, where a shared trailer system would mean your things sitting in a warehouse for days before someone else finishes the delivery.
Weight and distance pricing
Long-distance jobs inside Alberta and to neighbouring provinces are priced on the weight of the load and the miles driven. We walk your rooms, give a written estimate, and weigh the loaded truck on a certified scale so the final number ties back to something real.
Because we run these highways often, we know where the scales sit along Highway 2 and the Yellowhead, and roughly how long a loaded run to Fort McMurray or Calgary actually takes once fuel stops are counted.
Alberta distances add up fast
Sherwood Park to Fort McMurray is close to four hundred kilometres of highway, much of it two lane, and the drive changes completely if there is snow or an early winter storm on the Highway 63 stretch.
A run south to Calgary is shorter but still a full day once loading and unloading are counted. We build in the fuel stops and driver rest before the truck ever leaves the driveway.
Winter driving on these routes is not optional to plan for. Roughly half the year, a long-distance move out of Strathcona County means checking road conditions the morning of departure.
What rides last and comes off first
Anything that should not freeze on a January highway run, electronics, certain liquids, house plants, is loaded last and unloaded first, and we flag those items during the walk through so nothing gets left to chance.
In summer the same logic runs in reverse for heat sensitive items, since a closed trailer sitting at a fuel stop gets hotter than the air outside.
Booking a long-distance date
End of month and end of summer dates fill up first, so two to three weeks ahead is a comfortable window for a long-distance booking out of Sherwood Park or Strathcona County. If your date is tighter than that, ask anyway, schedules open up.
