Field notes · Move day
Five stages of a home move, in photographs from Men In Trucks jobs.
Beds, desks and tables are taken apart where needed before they are wrapped: see furniture disassembly and reassembly.
Moving blankets and floor protection, such as runners over floors and stairs, are part of every home move. See how we wrap and protect furniture.
Wrapped pieces are loaded and stacked in the truck. On condo moves, loading happens inside the elevator window you reserved with your building.
Straps and tie-offs hold the load in place for the drive. On a long-distance move, your written quote confirms the pickup date and the delivery window.
At the new place, each piece goes into the room you choose, and anything taken apart is put back together there.

I recently moved to Ottawa from Toronto and had a lot of old furniture that was very heavy and very hard to find something similar nowadays , so in short the furniture was very important to me and cannot be replaced. … they loaded the truck with furniture very carefully and ensured it wont move when the truck is on the road, the boys are very professional and respectful. … I can assure everyone that these hard working boys will take care of your furniture like its their own and thats exactly what happened with me. We arrived in Ottawa and nothing was broken, everything is in the same place they put it. …
★★★★★
We hired this team for our move from Ottawa to Toronto. Communication and administration was clear and straightforward - both via email and phone. … Our boxes and furniture were all packed, stored, and secured in the truck. … Update: the team arrived on time as scheduled for our elevator reservation in the condo (downtown Toronto). Although the service elevator was out of service on the day, they still used a regular elevator on a busy Saturday and did the job well. No complaints or damage done to the building and elevator during the move. …
★★★★★
What a great company. Communication was on point from day 1, and Isa and Ify were amazing and took great care of my stuff. And even with a huge hiccup of the elevator being out service at the drop off point, they got it done in a timely fashion with smiles on their faces. Highly recommend! Thank you!

No complaints from me. I needed a cash-desk removed from a store and taken to another destination and it was done with care and it was protected well. I would recommend these guys and I asked for some business cards for friends and family.
★★★★★
Had them move an 800lbs+ gun safe for me. Showed up when they said they would and got it done safely and on-schedule. Not every moving company is setup to move specialty items like this or willing to … Exactly what you want from a company, reliable and gets the job done …

Great service with efficient packing. All the large items were wrapped in plastic foil and blankets. Smaller items were bubble wrapped and packed in boxes. They were all delivered in a timely manner.
