About This Service
Long-Distance Moving in Markham
Moving long distance from Markham is something we handle regularly, in both directions: families and professionals relocating out of the city for a new opportunity, and just as often, people relocating into Markham for a role in the Highway 7 tech corridor. Highway 404 gives a direct route north toward Newmarket, Barrie, and cottage country, Highway 407 ETR connects east-west across the top of the GTA, and Highway 401 is reachable within minutes for moves heading toward Kingston, Ottawa, or west toward Hamilton and London. Wherever the destination, Fast Track Move manages every detail from packing at your Markham address to placing the last piece of furniture at the other end. All of our long-distance moves run on dedicated trucks. Your shipment does not share a trailer with anyone else's belongings, no one else's delivery schedule drives yours, and nothing gets shuffled around at a warehouse partway through transit. We load at your Markham address, we drive to the destination, and we unload. That is the entire chain of custody. We are CVOR-certified for interprovincial transport, meeting the federal safety standards required for moving trucks crossing provincial borders in Canada, and we carry full cargo insurance on every shipment from the moment loading begins to the moment unloading finishes. A long-distance move out of Markham is different from a local move in one important respect: the quote has to be binding. You are managing a major transition, whether it is a corporate relocation tied to a Highway 7 employer or a personal move, and the price cannot shift between the day you sign and the day the truck arrives. We provide detailed written quotes based on a thorough inventory, and the number we give you is the number you pay. No weight-overage adjustments, no destination-end fuel surcharges, no fees that surface for the first time on delivery day. Loading at your Markham address is billed at our standard hourly crew rates, with the same three-hour minimum that applies to every job, moving from $159 per hour for two movers off-peak up through $459 per hour for a five-mover crew during peak season or on a holiday booking. Long-haul transport itself is a separate flat fee, quoted based on distance and shipment volume rather than weight alone, so heavier furniture never quietly inflates your bill.
Our Edge
Why Choose Fast Track Move for Long-Distance Moving in Markham
A long-distance move requires a different kind of trust than a same-day local job. You are handing everything you own to a crew you have likely never met, and it is going to travel hundreds of kilometres before you see it again. We take that seriously on every Markham departure. Our long-distance crews load for highway travel differently than for a local move. Items are secured with load straps and blocking to prevent shifting over multiple hours or days on the road. Furniture blankets are doubled on pieces that will be in transit longer. Fragile items are packed with highway vibration in mind, not just a short local drive. We provide GPS tracking on every long-distance shipment, so you can see where your truck actually is throughout transit rather than waiting for a phone call. We commit to a delivery window in writing and we hit it; if something genuinely unexpected causes a delay, we call you before you have to wonder. We are candid that Markham is not local for us the way North York is; it is roughly a 32-kilometre drive from our depot. That distance is built into your scheduling from the first quote, so pickup day starts on time rather than being pushed back by underestimated travel. 955+ five-star Google reviews reflect real long-distance moves out of Markham, not just local jobs closer to our depot.
What We Do
How Our Long-Distance Moving Works in Markham
Long-distance service from Markham covers the full move: optional full-home packing before loading, long-haul securing on a dedicated truck, GPS-tracked transit, and complete unloading and setup at your destination anywhere in Ontario or Canada. Popular destinations from Markham include Ottawa (roughly four hours via Highway 407 and 401), Kingston (about two and a half hours), London (just over two hours), and cross-Canada destinations including Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. We also handle moves to Montreal and the Maritimes, and we regularly serve corporate relocations tied to Highway 7 tech and life-science employers moving staff between Canadian offices. Full packing is available as part of your long-distance package. Our packers come to your Markham home one to two days before departure, pack everything with long-haul-appropriate materials, label clearly by room, and load the truck on departure day. If you prefer to pack yourself, our crew arrives with the truck and loads what you have prepared. At your destination, we unload every item, bring everything inside, reassemble furniture as needed, and complete a final walkthrough to confirm everything arrived the way it left Markham. Climate-controlled transport is available for temperature-sensitive items such as wine collections, fine art, and certain electronics. Storage-in-transit is available at both the Markham end and the destination if your moving and possession dates do not line up.
Local Expertise
We Know Markham Inside Out
From your Markham address, our crews have efficient access to every major route out of the GTA. Highway 404 runs directly through the city and connects south to the 401 or north toward Newmarket and Barrie. Highway 407 ETR crosses the top of Markham and links quickly to both Highway 400 and the eastern 401 corridor, which matters for departures heading toward Kingston, Ottawa, or the Maritimes. For moves heading west toward Hamilton or London, our drivers route through the 407 to avoid the downtown Toronto core entirely. Loading in Cornell, Berczy Village, or Wismer Commons is generally straightforward for long-haul purposes since these newer subdivisions have standard driveway access, though Cornell's rear-laneway garages mean we stage the truck differently than a typical suburban departure. Loading from Unionville's heritage lots requires more planning, since long-haul loads are wrapped more heavily and take longer to stage, and narrow streets near Main Street limit where a larger truck can sit for an extended loading window. We have handled a number of long-distance departures tied to Highway 7 corporate relocations, where an employee is being transferred between a Markham office and another Canadian city on a compressed timeline. These moves often need a faster turnaround between the initial quote and pickup day than a typical personal move, and we build our scheduling to accommodate that when the timeline is genuinely tight. We also see meaningful springtime demand from newer Cornell and Wismer Commons families relocating out of province for a spouse's job change, and our crews plan around Markham's own peak moving season the same as any other departure point.

Transparent Pricing
Long-Distance Moving Rates in Markham
Long-distance moves from Markham are quoted based on shipment volume, distance to the destination, and access conditions at both the pickup and delivery addresses, not by weight alone, since weight-based pricing disadvantages customers with heavier furniture. Loading and packing at your Markham address is billed at hourly crew rates. Two movers start at $159 per hour off-peak, rising to $229 per hour in peak season; three movers run $219 to $315 per hour. The three-hour minimum applies to the loading portion of the move. Long-haul transport is a separate flat fee based on distance and shipment size, included in your binding written quote. For reference, a fully loaded 26-foot truck departing Markham for Ottawa typically runs in the range of $2,850 to $3,850 all-in for loading, transport, and unloading. Markham to Calgary for a two to three bedroom household typically runs $6,000 to $8,600. These are realistic estimates based on real jobs, not lowball figures used to win a booking and inflate later.
