The size of truck you will need depends on the size of your home. As experts with over 110 years of experience in the relocation industry, we have the experience to know what usually works for certain sized homes. A small truck of 10 feet or even a cargo van can be used for small studio and 1 bedroom apartments, especially for those who do not have many belongings. However, most people end up using a 15′ or 16′ foot truck for larger studios, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom apartments, and small 2 bedroom homes. Those are some of the most popular sizes for rentals. However, the vehicles can go on up to 26′ long for larger 2, 3, and 4 bedroom homes. If you have a 4 bedroom home or greater, you may need to utilize multiple trucks or make multiple trips.
Follow these tips to make sure that your rental experience goes off without a hitch.
When packing a truck for moving, always make sure that you put the heaviest and largest items in first. That way they won’t crush the lighter and more delicate things. Make sure to secure things with moving straps and use moving blankets, packing paper, and bubble wrap to stop things from getting scratched or dented. Make sure to disassemble furniture and roll up rugs to make them easier to handle and manage.
