What size truck do I need?
A rough guide from studio to four bedrooms, and why the planner usually knows better.

A studio usually fits a cargo van or a 10 ft truck. A two-bedroom needs a 15 ft truck, and three bedrooms or more usually need the 26 ft.
Why rooms are only a guide
Two homes with the same number of rooms can be very different. A home office, a piano or a full garage can move you up a truck size. That's why the planner counts items, not rooms.
Know your load before you book.
Add your rooms in the planner and see the truck, the crew and a price range in about a minute.
