Our longest US corridor is Toronto to Los Angeles, stretching 4,400 km from the GTA across the heart of the continent to the Pacific Coast. Most shipments are to LA proper, the San Fernando Valley, Long Beach and greater Los Angeles. Clients on this route are often entertainment industry professionals relocating for film and TV opportunities, tech workers relocating to Silicon Beach companies in Santa Monica and Venice, and Canadians relocating for the climate after years in Ontario winters.

Shipments range from partial one bedroom loads for young professionals starting out in Hollywood or Downtown LA to full household moves into single family homes in the Valley, Pasadena and Orange County. We provide Certificate of Insurance for high-rise buildings in DTLA and Century City, and shuttle trucks for the tight streets of older neighborhoods like Silver Lake and Echo Park. Toronto’s pricing is volume based before pickup, while Los Angeles’ rate doesn’t change at delivery, despite the long transit, weather through the Rockies or California freight regulations.

Explore our Canada–USA cross-border moving services for moves in either direction.

Truck Route from Toronto to Los Angeles

Most of the freight on this route is handled by the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, which is the quickest route from the GTA to the US Interstate system and clears commercial loads faster than alternative crossings. Trucks drive west on Highway 401 to Windsor, then cross the border to Detroit after the pickup in Toronto. From there you take I-94 West through Chicago and switch to I-80 West through Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming. From Salt Lake City trucks go south on I-15 to Las Vegas, then either south on I-15 or west on I-10 for the final run into the Los Angeles basin. For coastal deliveries (Santa Monica, Long Beach, etc) trucks use I-405 or US-101 from the eastern approach into LA. Some shipments going to NorCal first will sometimes go Northern routing via I-90 and I-84.

Most household moves from Toronto to California are completed within 7–14 days after pickup. Delivery time depends on your destination, customs clearance, weather conditions, and road conditions. Before pickup, we’ll provide an estimated delivery window so you know when to expect your shipment.

Yes. In most cases, either you or an authorized representative should be available to inspect the shipment, sign the delivery paperwork, and provide access to the building. If you’re moving into a condo or apartment, it’s also important to reserve the freight elevator and confirm whether the building requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before delivery. If you won’t be in California on the delivery date, let us know in advance—we can coordinate delivery with a family member, friend, or property manager.

Yes. Many customers relocate a vehicle together with their household belongings. Vehicle transportation is arranged separately from the household shipment and requires its own customs documentation. If you’re planning to move a car, simply mention it when requesting your quote so we can discuss the available transportation options.

Yes. Certain items cannot be transported during an international move, including hazardous materials, flammable liquids, propane tanks, fireworks, ammunition, and some food or agricultural products. Before packing day, we’ll provide a list of restricted items to help ensure your shipment crosses the border without unnecessary delays.

We provide scheduled door-to-door moving services throughout California, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno, Oakland, Irvine, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Long Beach, Riverside, Bakersfield, Pasadena, Glendale, Huntington Beach, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Santa Monica, Palo Alto, and many other communities across the state.

To help your move go smoothly, we recommend confirming your final inventory, reserving elevators if required, arranging parking for the moving truck, and setting aside important documents, medications, valuables, and everyday essentials to travel with you rather than in the moving truck. Completing these steps before pickup helps avoid delays on moving day.
