Movers in the Pontiac — Shawville, Quyon & Fort-Coulonge
Moving in the Pontiac? Get one flat-rate number from a licensed & insured crew. Call 613-800-0917
The Pontiac runs up the Québec side of the Ottawa River along Highway 148 — Luskville at the foot of the Gatineau Hills, Quyon with its ferry, Shawville with its fair and its famously English main street, Campbell’s Bay, and Fort-Coulonge with the great covered bridge. It’s farm country and river country, and Men In Trucks Moving Inc. serves all of it: our own truck, our own crew, one written number before load day, in English or French — whichever your household runs on.
Moves we handle in the Pontiac
- Village and town moves — Shawville, Campbell’s Bay, Fort-Coulonge, Quyon, Bristol, Luskville and the concession roads between.
- Farm and rural properties — shop tools, outbuilding contents and long-lane access are normal Pontiac work; we scout the lane at quote stage.
- To and from Ottawa and Aylmer — down the 148 through Aylmer, or across the Quyon ferry to the Ontario side in season; interprovincial paperwork is routine. See our Aylmer movers page for the city end.
- River and cottage properties — Ottawa River waterfront from Luskville to the Coulonge, with slope and lane access planned before the day.
- Long-distance from a Pontiac address — Toronto, the Maritimes or out west as a dedicated job via our long-distance service.
Simple flat-rate pricing in the Pontiac
Every move outside Ottawa is priced the simple way: one flat rate covers your first 3 hours — crew, 26-foot truck, fuel and the trip out, all included — then straight hourly billing after that. No travel-fee math, no fuel surcharge, no surprises on move day.
- 2 movers + truck — $750 + tax for the first 3 hours, then $150/hr
- 3 movers + truck — $950 + tax for the first 3 hours, then $195/hr
- 4 movers + truck — $1,200 + tax for the first 3 hours, then $245/hr
- 5 movers + 2 trucks — $1,600 + tax for the first 3 hours, then $325/hr

The number we quote in writing is the number on your invoice unless the scope of the move genuinely changes. Get yours by phone at 613-800-0917 or through our online quote form.

Local knowledge that saves moving-day time
The Pontiac is long — Luskville is barely past Aylmer while Fort-Coulonge is a real drive — and that’s exactly what the flat rate solves: the trip out is our problem, not a line on your bill. On the ground, what matters is the property: gravel lanes off the 148, farmhouse staircases, woodstoves, and the occasional piano that’s been in the family since Shawville Fair had horses. Tell us about those pieces at quote time and they’re planned work, not move-day surprises.
Frequently asked questions — Pontiac moves
Do you serve the whole Pontiac, or just the near end?
The whole MRC along the 148 — Luskville, Quyon, Bristol, Shawville, Campbell’s Bay and Fort-Coulonge are all inside our service area, and the flat first-3-hours rate covers the trip out wherever you are on the highway.
Is service available in English?
Absolutely — much of our Pontiac work runs in English, and French is equally available. Your household picks the language; the quote and paperwork follow.
Can you handle a farm move?
Yes — household plus shop and outbuilding contents is a normal Pontiac job. Describe the lane and the heavy pieces at quote time and we bring the right crew and equipment.
Is a Québec-to-Ontario move complicated?
Not for us — interprovincial moves are our everyday work. The quote, the paperwork and the insurance cover both provinces.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three weeks for summer and month-end dates; more around July 1. Off-season, shorter notice usually works.
