Your route, in either direction

Your Regina move, planned across Canada

Moving to Regina or leaving Saskatchewan for another province? Take A Load Off Moving helps book and coordinate long-distance household moves through the Great Canadian Van Lines network. Your move can start or finish in Regina without a Nanaimo stop. From a city condo to an acreage outside town, we begin with the actual addresses, inventory and access conditions, then work through the pickup, transportation and delivery arrangements for your route.

City address or acreage: plan the last kilometre

An apartment loading area, a rear-lane garage and a rural driveway need different arrangements. Show where the truck can approach, park and turn, and how far belongings must travel between the vehicle and your door.

For an acreage, send the civic address and clear directions. Photos of gates, overhead branches, driveway surfaces and turning space help identify questions before moving day. Include outbuildings in the inventory if their contents are coming with you.

• Identify the usable entrance, any gate code and a contact who can provide access.
• Flag gravel lanes, soft ground, steep driveway sections or limited turnaround space.
• List garage, basement and shed items separately so they are included in the assessment.

Choose a workable truck position in Regina

Regina publishes specific street-parking limits for oversized vehicles and rules for alley loading. If the proposed truck position is on the street, tell us how much frontage is available and how long loading may take. The moving coordinator can assess the vehicle and access against the City's current guidance before the position becomes part of the plan.

For a rear-lane pickup, show the lane entrance and route to the house. For an acreage, show driveway and turning space. If access looks difficult, ask whether a smaller vehicle or extra carrying work needs assessment and inclusion in the estimate. Settle those questions before relying on a curbside or driveway position.

Build an estimate around what is actually moving

A basement freezer, workshop shelving, gym equipment and patio furniture can change a Regina household shipment. Include each detached building as a separate inventory area. Identify fuel-powered equipment, propane cylinders and chemicals separately, and ask which items can be accepted and what preparation is required before putting them into the shipment.

Review included services and conditions that could change the charges. Ask how additional items are assessed and what shipment protection options and exclusions apply. Update the inventory if you sell furniture or add belongings.

Winter access and the road to your new home

Saskatchewan's Highway Hotline provides highway conditions, closures and construction information. Use it when planning your own travel and discussing road access with your coordinator. At the property itself, check the loading path and driveway separately: highway information does not describe whether your gate, lane or entrance has been cleared and is usable.

Keep identification, medication, keys, valuables and a practical overnight kit with you. Label cartons by destination room, and set aside anything staying behind before loading begins. Send your two addresses, a room-by-room inventory and your preferred dates to start a Regina long-distance moving estimate.
