FAQ

What can a 22 ft truck hold?

A 22 ft truck offers about 1200 cu ft — enough for a 3-bedroom home. Don't exceed its ~10,000 lb payload, especially with appliances.

How many boxes fit in a 22 ft truck?

As a rough guide, divide the 1200 cu ft by ~3 cu ft per medium box — about 400 boxes if it were boxes only, but furniture takes most of the space.

Is a 22 ft truck big enough for my move?

Match it to your home size: a 3-bedroom home. When in doubt, rent one size up — a second trip costs more in time and fuel than the size difference.
