Key takeaways
- Truck size depends on how much you own, not only how many bedrooms you have.
- A truck that is too small means a second trip, and one that is too big is wasted space.
- Furniture matters more than boxes, because boxes stack and furniture does not.
- Our Pack the Truck tool lets you add your furniture and watch the truck fill.
Everyone asks how many bedrooms, but two homes with three bedrooms can need very different trucks.
Start with the big pieces
Sofas, beds, dressers, tables and appliances take up the most room and cannot be stacked. List them first.
Then the boxes
Boxes stack well and fill the gaps. A good rule is to expect more boxes than you think, especially in the kitchen and the closets.
Do not forget the garage and the outdoors
Bikes, mowers, ladders, grills and patio sets can add a lot to a load.
Check it
Add your items to our Pack the Truck tool, and it shows a fill gauge and a suggested truck. We confirm it when we talk through your list.
