It can become complicated if the moving company you choose only advertises their moving trucks in small, medium, or large sizes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the <a href=\"https:\/\/agoyu.com\/learn\/best-moving-companies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">best moving companies<\/a> will offer guidelines on which box truck sizes you need, they are only sometimes accurate. Often, your home size is how moving companies determine truck size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Home Size<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Recommended Truck Size<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1-room apartment<\/td><td>10-16 feet<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2-room apartment<\/td><td>12-22 feet<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3-room house<\/td><td>16-22 feet<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5-room house<\/td><td>22-26 feet<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These size ranges are not exact and can sometimes overlap, especially since the square footage isn\u2019t listed for your home. Two homes with the same rooms will not always be the same size and have the same amount of belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Size Moving Truck Do I Need &#8211; How to Pick the Right Size&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To choose moving truck sizes, you must determine the cubic space inside the truck. The cubic space is based on how many boxes, beds, or other belongings you are moving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"agoyu-booking-section\">\n    <h1 style=\"margin-bottom: 20px\">\n        <b >Need Movers?<\/b> Your Move, Your Choice\n    <\/h1>\n    <div class=\"agoyu-booking-section-container\">\n        <div class=\"agoyu-booking-section-item\" style=\"background-color: #032a40\">\n            <div >\n                <label\n                        style=\"\n                border-radius: 25px;\n                border: 1px solid #ffffff;\n                color: #ffffff;\n                padding: 4px 8px;\n                height: min-content;\n                margin-bottom: 20px;\n              \"\n                >Recommended<\/label\n                >\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                        src=\"https:\/\/agoyu-qa.bigin.top\/packages\/frontend\/app-assets\/img\/logo.png\"\n                        style=\"width: 180px;\"\n                \/>\n            <\/div>\n            <h2 style=\"color: #ffffff;  margin-top: 20px\">\n                Instant Exact Cost for Your Specific Move\n            <\/h2>\n            <p\n                    style=\"\n              color: #ffffff;\n              margin-top: 30px;\n              margin-bottom: 30px;\n            \"\n            >\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/agoyu.com\/learn\/best-moving-company-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"31\">Agoyu\u2019s AI technology<\/a> give you quick, precise estimates.

determine this or <a href=\"https:\/\/moving.tips\/bonus-tips-and-tricks\/how-to-calculate-cubic-feet-for-moving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">calculate the dimensions<\/a> yourself. The formula to determine cubic feet is length x width x height = cubic feet volume. Once you know how many cubic feet you need, you should look into the truck\u2019s cubic footage capacity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many moving companies will provide the exact cubic footage capacity for you, so you likely won\u2019t need to determine this yourself. When figuring out your cubic footage, you should create a <a href=\"https:\/\/agoyu.com\/learn\/moving-checklist-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">moving checklist app<\/a> to ensure you don\u2019t forget to add any goods to your move, like mattresses, furniture, boxes, or other fragile items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Different Types of Moving Trucks&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After determining exactly how much you are moving, it is time to choose a type of moving truck.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Small Box Truck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A small box truck is a good choice if you are moving to a small <a href=\"https:\/\/agoyu.com\/learn\/move-1-bedroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">one-bedroom apartment<\/a>. If you are <a href=\"https:\/\/agoyu.com\/learn\/apartment-moving-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"33\">moving out of a small apartment<\/a>, a 10 to 12-foot truck should work fine. You can fit most size mattresses in a small box truck, but a king mattress would be too large.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you think you can fit everything into a small box truck, you might not be able to if you have a lot of goods. However, you can fit plenty into a small box truck if you pack it efficiently. Load all of your large items, like furniture and beds, and then load your smaller items and boxes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Company<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>U-Haul<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Penske<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Budget<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Truck Size<\/strong><\/td><td>10ft<\/td><td>12ft<\/td><td>12ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Capacity<\/strong><\/td><td>1 room apt<\/td><td>1-2 br apt<\/td><td>1 room apt<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Interior Space<\/strong><\/td><td>402 cubic ft<\/td><td>450 cubic ft<\/td><td>380 cubic ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Dimensions<\/strong><\/td><td>9.11&#215;6<\/td><td>12&#215;6<\/td><td>12&#215;6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight Limit<\/strong><\/td><td>2,810lbs<\/td><td>3,100lbs<\/td><td>3,610lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Gas Mileage<\/strong><\/td><td>12 mpg<\/td><td>12 mpg<\/td><td>8-14 mpg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medium Box Truck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Medium-sized box trucks are a good option for long-distance moves or moves that contain large loads. Medium-sized trucks are durable and have a lot of space, making them suitable for long trips. You can use this size moving truck if you are moving out of a one or two-bedroom home, a two-bedroom apartment, or a condo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary difference between a medium size box truck and a small box truck is that the medium truck fits a king-sized mattress. Some moving companies have a small storage compartment above the truck\u2019s cab, so you can safely store any fragile or small items during the move. For example, U-Haul has a storage space on some of their trucks called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Articles\/About\/Rub-Rails-And-Moms-Attic-Add-To-The-U-Haul-Advantage-9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Mom\u2019s Attic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Company<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>U-Haul<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Penske<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Budget<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Truck Size<\/strong><\/td><td>15ft<\/td><td>16ft<\/td><td>16ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Capacity<\/strong><\/td><td>2-3 room apt<\/td><td>2-3 room apt<\/td><td>2-3 room apt<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Interior Space<\/strong><\/td><td>764 cubic ft<\/td><td>800 cubic ft<\/td><td>658 cubic ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Dimensions<\/strong><\/td><td>15&#215;7<\/td><td>16&#215;7<\/td><td>16&#215;6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight Limit<\/strong><\/td><td>6,385lbs<\/td><td>4,300lbs<\/td><td>4,460lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Gas Mileage<\/strong><\/td><td>10 mpg<\/td><td>12 mpg<\/td><td>6-10 mpg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Large Box Truck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Large box trucks can be used whether you have a two- to three-bedroom apartment or a five-bedroom home. You can fit almost anything inside a large box truck, such as a king-size mattress or a California king mattress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even put your washer and dryer set in this large truck. Large box trucks are usually at least 20 feet and can handle the goods of everyone in your household.
