Formula and Assumptions
Truck size is estimated from bedrooms, furniture count, and box count.
Actual conditions, local rates, product labels, and contractor recommendations can change the final quantity or cost.
Example Calculation
Two bedrooms, 8 large items, and 45 boxes usually points to a 15-17 ft truck.
Tips
- Choose a larger truck if you have bulky furniture.
- Measure clearance for loading areas.
- Ask the rental company about payload limits.
