Moving Your Belongings Safely And Cost-effectively Locally And Anywhere Across Canada
When it comes to moving, the term “long distance” can mean different things to different people. However, generally speaking, a long distance move is considered any move over 500 kilometers or moving to a different province. The distance matters because it brings a host of logistical challenges that are not present in local moves.
Unlike local moves, long distance moves require careful planning and coordination by the moving company. The movers need to ensure that everything is packed and loaded in a way that prevents damage during transport. Special care needs to be given to fragile items, such as swing sets, floor lamps, pool tables, etc. to prevent damage during the move.
Hundreds of trailers are on the move all around Canada at any given time transporting our customers’ possessions. We have the required infrastructure and resources in place allowing us to stay competitive and flexible when it comes to accommodating tight schedules while staying within budget. Sparta Movers will relocate your household and office furnishings and personal effects anywhere across Canada safely, expediently and cost-effectively.
Long Distance Moving
Why choosing Sparta Movers for your long distance move?
Long Distance Moving Services
When moving long distance within Canada, hiring a moving company is a great idea for several reasons, including convenience and safety, and you may be surprised to learn that in some cases it’s not all that expensive either. There are many long-distance moving companies that will do just moving – they will show up on the moving day, load your belongings onto a truck, transport and eventually delivery it all to your new home. Sparta Movers is one of few moving companies that have the resources and expertise to offer a full-service “white-glove” long-distance relocation experience, including but not limited to the following services:
Packing/Unpacking
Prior to loading a truck/trailer, all your small and loose items need to be packed in boxes. Whether you need a full pack for everything or a partial pack just for your fragile items, moving companies can help. You may want to consider unpacking services upon arrival at your new home for an extra fee. This will include unpacking of boxed contents “to the counter” and removal of packing materials. Hiring movers to unpack will mean your home will be set up and live-in ready in a day rather than weeks or months. Having your moving company take care of packing and unpacking for you often also means less opportunity for damage of precious items. In case of a damage, a moving company will be liable. The pros know how to pack/wrap and load/unload items safely and damage-free, even when one may think is impossible.
Assembly/Disassembly
Need something large and bulky (e.g. swing sets, gym equipment, large closets, pool tables, etc.) disassembled at your current home and put back together at the new place? Ask your moving company. Often they would know specialized service providers. Eliminating the stress that comes with thinking about assembling and disassembling large items can really improve your overall moving experience.
Short-term and long-term storage
Are you arriving at your destination city before your new home or apartment will be move-in ready? Then ask your moving company if they provide short-term warehouse or portable storage for your belongings while you wait. Or maybe you’re downsizing and need a more permanent storage solution. If that’s the case, many of the full-service long- distance moving companies have secure warehouse facilities to accommodate all of your storage needs.
Custom Crating
Certain belongings just won’t fit in a traditional box, whether because it’s too large, fragile, or odd-shaped. That’s where custom crating comes in. Find a moving company that can offer crating services for things like high-value framed artwork, sculptures, marble table tops, electronic equipment, etc. The company will pick up your item(s) and make sure they are packaged adequately to remain protected while handling and transportation.
Vehicle Transportation
Moving long distance and cannot or simply do not wish to drive your vehicle(s) across Canada? We can transport your cars and motorcycles safely inside our trailers or on specialized vehicle transport trailers.
Loading/Unloading
Probably the most vital part of getting a move right is how a moving crew loads your belongings on the truck or a trailer. Finding a moving company that is skilled in loading your possessions correctly that will do all of the loading and unloading for you is key. This might seem like a basic part of moving that everyone offers, but there are some moving and storage services that will make you load your own belongings, and you can’t ensure the safety of your things the way the professionals can.
Whatever your needs are, Sparta Movers will always go the extra mile to serve you during your move. We’ve helped thousands of customers achieve a successful move by offering service “extras” like those listed above.

Tony, Costa and Cash were amazing movers. They got my move done quickly and with great care. They made sure to put runners throughout the house so they didn't dirty up the carpet and put everything in the room we wanted it to go in. Seamless move. Would highly recommend.
We had Dom, Andre, Ivan and Chuck move us, this is the second time we have used them and this time was as good as the first. They don’t quit until the job is done. The fellas are very friendly and helpful. Would use them again for sure.
We had Dom and Chuck bring in and unpack our cargo. Both were very friendly whilst being quick and efficient in completing the work. Fantastic service.
Dominic, Chuck, Ivan and Andre were great. They were professional, easy to talk to, and took great care with our possessions. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sparta again.
What a great moving experience. Everything from start to finish was really smooth. The quoting process with Angela was great- she was so on the ball and the whole reason I decided to hire Sparta. On the day of, Dominic and his team were friendly, professional, and took good care of my stuff. The guys worked hard and I was happy with the end result. I actually enjoyed the day, and I HATE moving! Big thanks to Angela, Dominic, Chuck, Anthony & Cash.
We are very happy with Sparta movers. Michael was very helpful and professional right from giving us an estimate and helping us reschedule without any hassle. All the movers- Dominic, Chuck, Zied, Cash & Andre were very quick, professional, helpful and courteous. Best movers we have come across. They deserve more than 5 stars. I'm very happy with each of their work 😊
We dealt with Michael B., Dominic, Chuck, Ziad and Cash - they were all super professional, considerate and great at what they do! From booking the move to waving goodbye when the moving team were finished - the team was helpful, caring and hard working. Thanks team for making our move so seamless!
The entire experience with Sparta was seamless. Right from my initial communication with Michael, the moving advisor, to Angie, who packed, and Ryan and his team who did all the heavy lifting their professionalism, communication and work ethic was exceptional. Moving is never easy but they definitely reduced the stress. Loved the online portal where I could adjust my inventory and it’s all very transparent as to costs, materials needed, and estimated times. Michael was so helpful and patient answering all my questions and adjusting the estimate as needed. It was nice to see Angie and Ryan patiently mentoring and teaching the new guys. Highly recommend them. Next time I’ll get them to do the entire pack instead of just a partial. They are so efficient!
We moved from Toronto to Airdrie (AB) with Sparta Movers. Best experience ever. They were super careful, packed everything with care, delivered on time, not a single box was missing, no furniture or electronics were damaged. Totally recommend.
