Choosing the right truck size can make or break your move. At Ship It – Bay and Beyond, we help you pick the right size based on your belongings.

Small Moves

For studios or 1-bedroom apartments, a 10–15 ft truck usually works.

Medium Moves

2–3 bedrooms typically need a 15–20 ft truck.

Large Moves

4+ bedrooms or large furniture collections may require a 20–26 ft truck.

Tips for Choosing

  • Make a detailed inventory of furniture and boxes.

  • Consider bulky items like sofas, pianos, or appliances.

  • When in doubt, choose slightly larger—extra space makes loading easier.

Bottom Line: Picking the right truck size saves time, reduces stress, and helps ensure a smooth move.
