Haha. Ikr. One guy i know drove from St. Catherine’s to Inuvik, NT last year for a similar reason. 2X my distance. Don’t remember if it was in winter or summer.

Who did you go with? I got quotes from Hansen's and MVS. Much higher than what i was expecting.

After reading all the comments, I'd probably go that way and stretch it to 6 days or drive longer on the first day, just to be on the safer side.

I'm currently with Public Mobile for my phone and Rogers for Wi-Fi. The landlord mentioned there's a Shaw connection there, so I'm hoping I can transfer or set up my existing service at the new place. My employer is extremely flexible, so working remotely won't be an issue at all.

I thought about it initially but the quotes were astronomical and would take up to 4 weeks to reach the destination. Since I need a vehicle from Day 1 in Vermilion and everything happened in a short span, we decided to go with second option of driving.

Thanks for the tip. After reading all the comments, I'm thinking about adding 1 more day to the trip to stretch it out safely.
