About this route
Richmond to Montreal by car carrier
Richmond to Montreal runs about 4,869 km on the road (54 hours behind the wheel). Car carriers stop for other vehicles on the load, so count on 7–10 days on the truck. The car heads east-northeast and crosses from Pacific to Eastern time, so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
Moving from British Columbia to Quebec
About 2,451 people moved from British Columbia to Quebec in each of the last two years, according to Statistics Canada (2,645 in 2024/2025, 2,256 in 2025/2026). That is 5.2% of everyone who left British Columbia for another province or territory. See the British Columbia to Quebec guide →
On the road
- The route crosses the Rocky Mountains. From October to March, snow on the mountain passes can hold trucks for a day, and British Columbia requires winter tires or chains on most of its highways.
- The only Canadian road between east and west runs north of Lake Superior (Highways 11 and 17 in Northern Ontario). Winter storms can close it for hours, which is one reason long hauls cost more in January and February.
