It is most likely that your first ride will leads you into the western rural Portneuf County which is a good start (unless you catch a long-distance ride). If you make it further enough into the County (let's say after Portneuf exit ramp) you may try to hitch directly along the highway if you feel the need.
Anyhow, you first ride out of Quebec city should always at least manage to take you to the following exit:
''* St-Marc-des-Carrières''
The last Service area (off highway) before [[Trois-Rivières]], which consists of a truck stop with restaurant, gas station, and snack bar. The highway on-ramp is just off the gas station.
To start hitching within Quebec city, the best options are either to look at 'Local Hitching Section' further on this page or try one of the following:
* Corner of Route St-Sacrement and Boulevard Charest (basically where the highway 440 ends) before the street light or at one of the Gas Station located at its corner. To reach this spot, you would need to take bus #7 (which rides on Chemin Ste-Foy), walk off at the St-Sacrement Church stop and walk down the hill.
Note that many cars riding on A-40 will simply reach until [[Trois-Rivières]] which is a breakdown on the highway path halfway to [[Montreal]]
