FAQ

What can a 10 ft truck hold?

A 10 ft truck offers about 400 cu ft — enough for a studio to 1 bedroom. Don't exceed its ~2,900 lb payload, especially with appliances.

How many boxes fit in a 10 ft truck?

As a rough guide, divide the 400 cu ft by ~3 cu ft per medium box — about 133 boxes if it were boxes only, but furniture takes most of the space.

Is a 10 ft truck big enough for my move?

Match it to your home size: a studio to 1 bedroom. When in doubt, rent one size up — a second trip costs more in time and fuel than the size difference.
