The Moving Company Vancouver Island Trusts, When people search for Nanaimo movers or Vancouver Island moving companies, they’re not just looking for a truck — they’re looking for trust. And for more than eight years, Take A Load Off Moving has earned exactly that: the confidence of families, businesses, and communities across Nanaimo, Parksville, Ladysmith, Port Alberni, Duncan, Victoria, and every town in between.
Our story began with one truck and one promise — to treat every customer like family. Today, we’re proud to be recognized as a locally owned, Google Guaranteed, award-winning moving company that delivers reliability, professionalism, and genuine care with every move.
Locally Owned Means Locally Trusted – The Moving Company Vancouver Island Trusts
There’s a big difference between a franchise that simply rents its name and a company that builds its reputation from the ground up. Take A Load Off Moving was founded and built right here in Nanaimo, BC, by people who live, work, and raise their families on Vancouver Island.
When you move with us, you’re supporting a community-driven, Vancouver Island business that reinvests locally — from staff wages to sponsorships and charitable partnerships. Your money doesn’t leave the Island — it stays right here, helping our community grow.
That’s what makes us different. We’re not just on Vancouver Island — we’re part of it.
Google Guaranteed — The Seal of Verified Trust
Anyone can rent a truck and call themselves movers. But only verified professionals can earn the Google Guaranteed badge.
Being Google Guaranteed means that Take A Load Off Moving has been thoroughly vetted by Google for licensing, insurance, and service quality. It’s your assurance that we:
- Carry valid business licensing under BC law.
- Are WCB-covered for safety and accountability.
- Maintain full cargo and liability insurance.
- Deliver consistent, high-rated service verified by real customer reviews.

When you see the Google Guaranteed check mark next to our name, you know your move is protected by more than promises — it’s protected by the platform that millions of Canadians trust.
