When planning a move, people often wonder, “how many trucks will it take to move all my things?” Something a lot of people don’t realize is that moving companies often load more than one customer’s belongings into a truck. It’s common practice in the industry and ensures that trips are cost-effective and efficient for both the moving company and the customer.
How Many Trucks Will It Take to Move My Belongings?
The short answer is one (most likely). If you’re moving a smaller household—such as a two-bedroom or smaller—your belongings likely won’t fill an entire 18 wheeler moving truck.
A four-bedroom house can range from roughly 7,000 to 10,000 pounds. While this may seem like a lot, professional movers know how to efficiently pack a moving truck.
Moving companies ensure that each trip is maximized. Trucks are designed to minimize both costs and trips by combining multiple moves into one.
How Many Movers Do I Need?
Aside from the truck, another big factor in your move is the number of movers you’ll need. The larger the home, the more movers you’ll likely need to efficiently pack and load everything onto the moving truck.
Consider getting started by requesting your moving estimate. Plus, a professional moving company, like Bekins Van Lines, will balance the right amount of manpower with the right truck size to ensure your belongings are loaded and unloaded swiftly.
