Men In Trucks Moving Inc. brings Ottawa’s owner-operated moving service down Highway 31 to Morrisburg, the riverfront village at the heart of South Dundas. Whether you’re settling into a waterfront home along County Road 2, downsizing after years in the village, or relocating a family between rural Dundas County properties, we handle the whole move with our own crews and trucks. We’ve been doing this since 2010, and the same standards that earned us a name in Ottawa travel the full 90 km to the St. Lawrence.
The 90 km Ottawa–Morrisburg corridor
Morrisburg sits roughly 90 kilometres southeast of Ottawa. The most direct route runs down Highway 31 — Bank Street south out of the city — through Winchester and the farm country of central Dundas, then meets County Road 2 / Highway 2 along the St. Lawrence Seaway. It’s an easy, predictable drive for a moving crew, but it is genuine distance, and we price it honestly. Every Ottawa–Morrisburg move carries a single fixed travel charge that we itemize on your quote so you can see exactly what it covers: getting our truck and crew down to South Dundas and back. A move that stays local — within Morrisburg, or between two addresses in the village and surrounding area — carries no corridor charge at all. We’re not a referral service or a broker; the truck that loads in Ottawa is the truck that unloads on the river, no co-loading and no subcontractors along the way.
What we move in Morrisburg
Morrisburg’s mix of households means no two moves look quite the same, and we plan for that. We move retirees who have decided it’s time for a smaller place or a spot closer to family, and we move people in the other direction too — folks coming from Ottawa or beyond to claim a quieter life by the water. We handle waterfront homes along the County Road 2 corridor, where a long lot, a sloped approach to the river, or a detached garage full of seasonal gear all factor into the plan. We move rural Dundas County properties — farmhouses, hobby acreages, and outbuildings near Williamsburg and Riverside Heights — where there’s often more to load than a city condo and a longer carry from door to truck. And we move families: the full house, the kids’ rooms, the appliances, the things that have to arrive intact. Whatever the profile, our crews are trained to protect floors, doorways, and your belongings as if they were our own.
Morrisburg areas and nearby St. Lawrence communities we serve
We cover Morrisburg village and the surrounding parts of South Dundas, including Riverside Heights, Williamsburg, and the waterfront stretch along County Road 2 toward Iroquois. Up and down the Seaway and into the surrounding townships, we also serve Cornwall to the east and Kemptville to the north, along with Ingleside, Long Sault, Iroquois, Winchester, and Williamsburg. If your move starts or ends anywhere in this corner of SD&G — a river house near Crysler Park, a village home a short walk from Upper Canada Village, or a farm property out in the county — we can get a crew there.
Transparent pricing for Morrisburg moves
Our rates are flat hourly and the same whether you’re in Ottawa or Morrisburg: $150/hr for two movers, $195/hr for three, $245/hr for four, and $325/hr for five. The right crew size depends on the size of your home and how much there is to carry — a two-bedroom village house and a four-bedroom riverfront property are very different jobs. On top of the hourly rate, an Ottawa–Morrisburg move carries the single itemized travel charge for the corridor; a move that stays local within Morrisburg does not. A common Morrisburg profile is a senior downsizing from a long-time home into a smaller place or a residence — often a two- or three-mover job over part of a day, sometimes with packing help. Whatever the shape of your move, the number we quote is the number you pay: your quote number becomes your invoice number unless the scope of the job actually changes.
Senior and waterfront moves along the St. Lawrence
A good share of Morrisburg’s moves are downsizing moves, and those deserve patience rather than a stopwatch. When someone is leaving a home of twenty or thirty years, the day is about more than boxes — it’s sorting what comes along, what goes to family, and what’s let go, and our crews are comfortable working at that pace. We coordinate around residence move-in windows, handle the careful pieces — the china cabinet, the heirloom dresser, the recliner — with proper padding and care, and keep the day calm. Waterfront and rural homes bring their own access realities: a long driveway, a set of steps down toward the river, a narrow lane, or soft ground after rain. We’d rather know about all of that before move day so we arrive with the right plan and the right equipment. If you’re helping a parent or relative through a downsizing move, our senior moving service page explains how we approach these jobs.
Why Morrisburg customers choose Men In Trucks
We’re an owner-operated company with more than 15 years behind us, and that ownership shows up in the details. We run our own trucks and our own crews out of our Ottawa warehouse — no subcontractors, no co-loading your belongings with someone else’s, no handing your move to a stranger. We’re fully licensed and insured, with liability, cargo, and WSIB coverage in place. And we keep pricing straight: a clear hourly rate, an itemized travel charge for the corridor so there are no surprises, and a quote that holds unless the job genuinely changes. For a Morrisburg household that’s planning carefully — especially a downsizing move — that predictability matters as much as the muscle.
Frequently asked questions — Morrisburg moves
How far ahead should I book a Morrisburg move?
Because we send a crew down from Ottawa, we recommend booking your Morrisburg move as early as you can, ideally a few weeks out, and earlier still for month-end dates and the busy summer season when Seaway-corridor and Ottawa moves both fill up. The sooner we have your date, the easier it is to lock in the crew size and time window you want.
Is there a travel fee for the 90 km corridor?
Yes. An Ottawa–Morrisburg move carries a single fixed travel charge that we itemize on your quote — it covers bringing our truck and crew the roughly 90 km down Highway 31 and Highway 2 and back. A move that stays local within Morrisburg, between two nearby addresses, carries no corridor charge.
Can you help with a senior downsizing move?
Absolutely — it’s one of the most common moves we do in the Morrisburg area. We work at a patient pace, coordinate around residence move-in times, and handle fragile and treasured pieces with proper padding and care. Packing help is available if sorting and boxing is part of the job.
Can you handle waterfront or rural property access?
We can. Long driveways, riverside steps, narrow lanes, and detached garages or outbuildings are routine for us — we just like to know the details ahead of time so we arrive with the right crew and equipment for the approach.
Can you do a same-day move to Morrisburg?
Sometimes, depending on crew availability and the corridor travel time, but same-day is never guaranteed for a 90 km move. Give us a call as early as possible and we’ll tell you honestly what we can do for your date.
