After-Hours Movers in Ottawa
Need to move outside the 9-to-5? Evening, weekend, and holiday moves from a licensed & insured Ottawa crew. Get a free quote →
Most of Ottawa can’t take a Tuesday off to move. Men In Trucks Moving Inc. runs crews in the evening, on weekends, and on holidays — the same trained movers and the same clear quote, scheduled around your work day instead of through it. Whether it’s a condo whose elevator only had a 6 p.m. slot left, an office that can’t shut down during business hours, or a shift worker whose “weekend” is Wednesday, after-hours is a normal booking for us, not a special favour.
In this guide
When after-hours moving makes sense
- Condo elevator windows — downtown buildings book service elevators in tight slots, and the weekday-evening ones are often all that’s left in a busy month. We take them.
- Work schedules — nurses, public servants on deadline, retail and restaurant staff: if your day off isn’t Saturday, your moving day doesn’t have to be either.
- Holiday and month-end crunches — lease turnovers cluster on the 1st; an evening or holiday slot can be the difference between moving on your date and moving a week late.
- Heat and traffic — summer evening moves skip both the afternoon heat and the Queensway rush.
Evening & weekend household moves
An evening move runs like any other: the crew arrives with the truck padded and stocked, protects the doorways and floors, and works until you’re in. Buildings with concierge desks and booked elevators are our routine — we bring the paperwork the building asks for. Booked late and need it fast? That’s a different page: our last-minute movers cover the short-notice side, and the two combine well when short notice meets a tight schedule.
After-hours business & office moves
Offices, clinics, and shops usually can’t afford to close for a move — so the move happens when the doors do. We stage, disassemble, and relocate after close and have the new space working before the next open. Details and walkthrough-based planning live on our commercial movers and office movers pages.
How it’s priced
After-hours moves are quoted the same transparent way as any move — crew size, truck, and time, agreed before moving day. Evening and holiday slots are subject to availability, so the honest advice is simple: the earlier you flag an after-hours need, the more slot options you’ll have.

Frequently asked questions — after-hours moving in Ottawa
Do you actually move in the evening, or just load late?
We run full moves in the evening — load, drive, and unload — most often for condo elevator slots and after-close business moves. If a move is better split across an evening and a morning, we’ll say so in the quote.
Can you move my business overnight or on a holiday?
Yes. After-close and holiday windows are standard for offices, clinics, and retail — the point is being open again on time, and we plan backward from that.
Is an evening or weekend move more expensive?
The quote is built the same way as any move: crew, truck, time. Slot availability varies more than price does — book early for the widest choice.
My building only had a 7 p.m. elevator slot. Is that enough time?
Usually yes — we size the crew to the window. Tell us the booking time and building, and we’ll confirm the plan before you lock the slot.
How late can I book an after-hours move?
As late as capacity allows — and for true short-notice situations our last-minute crews often have same-week availability.
