What fits: truck, boxes, containers

Start from your home size for a quick answer, or build the list room by room. Either way you get the volume and weight, the truck size with each brand's truck, the containers, and the boxes.

Walk this list with a phone before anyone quotes. Anything you leave out of the video is what a mover finds on the day, and a garage is how a 26 ft truck comes back for a second trip.

5 rooms to film

  1. 1. Kitchen

    A 2-bed kitchen is never a few mediums. Dish boxes, not trash bags.

  2. 2. Bathroom

    Meds and the first-night bag ride with you.

  3. 3. Primary bedroom

    Mattress bag. Jewellery stays in your car.

  4. 4. Second bedroom

    If it is an office, count the desk as a special.

  5. 5. Living room

    TV, sofa, and the thing that will not pivot.

How sure is this?

A home size gives a typical load; your list gives yours. Both use industry planning averages for each item, so a written estimate still needs a video or in-home survey: the rooms to film list covers what a mover needs to see. Stairs, a long carry or a tight street can mean a smaller truck and a shuttle, whatever the volume.

Truck sizes are on the size pages, with each brand's inside dimensions and max load. For an ocean move, quotes are in cubic metres; switch the units.
