Moving trucks are the most efficient mode of transporting your belongings from one home to the next. While booking a truck for the big day, you might ask yourself, \u201cWhat size moving truck do I need?\u201d<\/p>\n
If you get a truck that\u2019s too small, you will spend all day making trips. However, getting an oversized moving truck could result in spending more money than necessary. If you\u2019re not sure what size moving truck you need, here are three things to keep in mind.<\/p>\n
Before we discuss tips for choosing a moving truck, let\u2019s review the main sizes commonly offered by moving companies. These sizes refer to traditional box trucks with a large cargo area for moving boxes and furniture. Moving companies often list their available moving truck sizes by the length of their cargo space or their cubic footage.<\/p>\n
The first thing to consider when choosing a moving truck\u2019s size for your belongings is the size of your new home. The number of rooms in your new home can give you a general idea of what it can fit and the number of belongings you\u2019ll be transporting. Each bedroom and common room has its own furniture and objects in boxes to add together to find your ideal truck size. Moving companies typically list their truck size options along with the number of bedrooms or home square footage they\u2019ve deemed suitable for a particular option.<\/p>\n
Next, you\u2019ll want to ensure the moving truck you select is large enough to transport your largest belongings. For many people, this would be mattresses, couches, bookcases, or large appliances. You may also own specialty items like game tables, musical instruments, or antique furniture that take up a good amount of space. Ideally, you should fit large furniture along with several boxes to minimize the number of trips while moving.<\/p>\n
Lastly, think about the distance between your current and new home and how many trips you could complete in a day. If you want to avoid taking multiple trips to transport your belongings, invest in a large moving truck. If you expect to be rushing the clock on moving day, you\u2019ll want to take as few trips as possible. You can save money by choosing a smaller truck and taking more trips if the distance is relatively short.<\/p>\n
