CNS Logistics — Moving Truck Fleet
Our Fleet — 12 GPS-Tracked Moving Trucks Serving Montreal Daily
Every CNS Logistics truck is company-owned, commercially insured, SAAQ inspected, GPS-tracked in real time every 30 seconds, and professionally maintained. No rental vans. No unmarked trucks. No guessing where your belongings are. Our fleet of 12 trucks ranges from 16-foot urban navigators to 26-foot long-distance haulers — and we match the right truck to every move so you never pay for capacity you don't need.
CNS Logistics Fleet
Right-Sized Trucks for Every Move
CNS doesn't send a 26-foot truck for a studio move or a 16-foot truck for a 4-bedroom house. We assess your move volume during the quote process and assign the optimal truck — so you pay for exactly what you use.
16-Foot Truck
Isuzu NPR Cab-Over
Capacity: ~800 cubic feet — studio / 1-2 bedroom apartment
Best for: studios, small 1-bedrooms, student moves, single-room moves, deliveries
Montreal advantage: Fits on narrow Plateau streets, navigates tight Rosemont alleys, parks where 26-footers can't
Cab style: Isuzu NPR cab-over (flat face, no hood) — tight turning radius for city driving
Equipment on board: 40+ moving blankets, dollies, hand trucks, straps, floor runners, shrink wrap
GPS: Real-time location updated every 30 seconds
22-Foot Truck
Isuzu NPR Cab-Over
Capacity: ~1,200 cubic feet — 2-3 bedroom apartment or small house
Best for: standard 2-bedroom moves, cross-city relocations, large deliveries, partial house moves
Most used: Covers 60% of Montreal residential moves — the workhorse of the CNS fleet
Hydraulic liftgate: For heavy items (appliances, safes, equipment) — no ramp needed
Cab style: Isuzu NPR cab-over — same urban maneuverability as the 16-footer with significantly more cargo space
Equipment on board: 40+ blankets, furniture pads, dollies, hand trucks, piano board, straps
GPS: Real-time every 30 seconds
26-Foot Truck
Freightliner M2 Style
Capacity: ~1,700 cubic feet — 3-5 bedroom house, full office, or long-distance load
Best for: large family homes, commercial office moves, long-distance Montreal→Toronto/Ottawa, institutional moves
Cab style: Conventional cab Freightliner M2 style — built for highway comfort on 5+ hour drives
Air-ride suspension: Smooths highway bumps for fragile cargo (pianos, lab equipment, electronics)
Tie-down system: Built-in e-track rails and ratchet straps for securing loads during long-distance transport
Climate considerations: Insulated cargo area for temperature-sensitive items in winter
Equipment on board: 60+ blankets, full equipment complement, piano board, specialized dollies
GPS: Real-time every 30 seconds — follow your long-distance move from Montreal to Toronto in real time

Exclusive GPS Technology
Real-Time GPS Tracking on Every Truck — Every 30 Seconds
This is a MAJOR differentiator. No other Montreal mover offers this. Every CNS truck is equipped with commercial-grade GPS that updates location every 30 seconds.
During your move, you can follow your truck in real time — know exactly where your belongings are at every moment. For long-distance moves, watch your truck travel from Montreal to Toronto, Ottawa, or anywhere in Canada. Our dispatch office monitors all 12 trucks in real time, rerouting around traffic, accidents, and construction.
GPS data also creates a permanent record of every move — arrival time, departure time, route taken, stops made. This is a level of transparency and accountability that nobody else in Montreal provides. Insurance claims are supported by GPS evidence (route, timestamps, conditions). Disputes about timing are resolved objectively — the record is permanent.
Safety & Maintenance
SAAQ Inspected, Commercially Insured, Professionally Maintained
Every CNS truck meets Quebec's strictest safety and maintenance standards. This isn't optional — it's mandatory to operate legally, and we go further than the minimum required.
Annual SAAQ Inspection
Every truck passes the annual SAAQ (Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec) mechanical inspection — mandatory for all commercial vehicles in Quebec. Zero exceptions.
Pre-Trip Safety Check
Drivers perform a 15-point safety check before every shift: tires, brakes, lights, hydraulics, cargo area, liftgate. This log is documented every single day.
Preventive Maintenance
Oil changes, brake inspections, tire rotations, and suspension checks on a strict mileage-based schedule. No truck goes on the road with overdue maintenance.
Commercial Insurance
Every truck is covered under CNS's commercial vehicle insurance policy through Intact Insurance. The insurance covers the truck, the crew, AND your belongings during transport.
Cleaned After Every Move
The cargo area is cleaned and disinfected after every move. Your belongings go into a clean truck — no lingering dust, dirt, or debris from the previous load.
Branded CNS Fleet
Every truck displays CNS Logistics livery — you always know it's our truck, not a rental. If a mover shows up in a U-Haul, that's a red flag.
⚠️ Why This Matters vs Rental Vans
A mover who shows up in a U-Haul or Penske rental is telling you: they don't own equipment, they don't maintain equipment, and they're probably not properly insured for commercial moving. A rental van's insurance covers the VAN, not YOUR BELONGINGS inside it.
CNS's commercial fleet insurance covers the truck, the crew, AND your belongings during transport. That's non-negotiable.
Optimal Matching
We Match the Right Truck to Your Move — So You Don't Overpay
The wrong truck costs you money. Too small: requires a second trip = double the time = double the cost. Too big: you're paying for a 26-footer when a 16-footer would do. CNS assesses your move volume during the quote process and assigns the optimal truck.
| Your Move | Recommended Truck | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / dorm / single room | 16-foot | Small load, narrow streets, fast |
| 1-2 bedroom apartment | 16 or 22-foot | Depends on furniture volume |
| 2-3 bedroom apartment/house | 22-foot | Covers 60% of Montreal moves |
| 3-4 bedroom house | 26-foot | Full-house capacity |
| 4+ bedroom or long-distance | 26-foot (possibly 2 trucks) | Maximum capacity + highway-rated |
| Piano / pool table / safe only | 16 or 22-foot | Specialty equipment on board |
| Office / commercial | 22 or 26-foot | Based on workstation count |
