How Far Is Kitchener to Markham?

Kitchener is located in the Region of Waterloo, approximately 100 km west of Toronto. Markham is a city in York Region, northeast of Toronto.

Truck Delivery Options: Kitchener to Markham

**Option 1: Freight Carriers (LTL/FTL)** For business shipments, less-than-truckload (LTL) freight carriers like Day & Ross, Purolator Freight, or Manitoulin Transport service the Kitchener-Markham corridor. LTL is cost-effective for palletized shipments over 150 kg but is not designed for residential delivery or items that require careful handling. **Option 2: Courier Services** Couriers like FedEx, UPS, and Canpar handle packages up to 70 kg. For oversized items (furniture, appliances, large boxes), couriers either refuse the shipment or charge significant oversize fees. Not suitable for most furniture or appliance deliveries. **Option 3: Rental Truck (DIY)** Renting a cargo van or truck from U-Haul or Enterprise in Kitchener costs $60–$150/day plus mileage. For a 110 km one-way trip, mileage adds $30–$60. Total cost: $120–$250. This works if you have someone to help load and unload, and you are comfortable driving a large vehicle. **Option 4: GoGedit Same-Day Truck Delivery** GoGedit offers same-day and next-day truck delivery from Kitchener to Markham for residential and small business customers.
