You may need 2 tripsYour belongings exceed the largest truck size. Plan for 2 loads with a 26 ft truck, or consider renting a second truck for the same day.

Loading efficiencyThese recommendations account for a 75% loading efficiency factor. In practice, you can rarely fill 100% of the rated capacity due to odd-shaped furniture, fragile items needing extra space, and the need to stack safely. If you pack very efficiently, you may be able to drop down one size.

These are rough estimates based on national averages. Actual volume depends on specific furniture, appliances, and belongings. Pricing varies by location, season, and provider. Always get quotes from local providers before booking.
