What to Measure
- 1Count each type of large item (refrigerators, sofas, dressers, etc.)
- 2Note which items cannot be stacked (refrigerators, washers)
- 3Estimate total weight — payload limits matter for heavy loads
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming all items can be stacked — refrigerators and washers must stay on the floor
- Ignoring payload limits — a 20-ft truck holds ~5,700 lbs, heavy appliance loads can exceed this
- Choosing by volume alone — floor footprint is usually the binding constraint, not cubic feet
Frequently Asked Questions
How many refrigerators fit in a 26-foot truck?
About 20–25 standard refrigerators (36×30×70"), since they cannot be stacked. Floor footprint is the limiting factor, not volume.
Is a 20-foot truck big enough for 3 bedrooms?
Typically yes for furniture only, but add major appliances and the 26-foot becomes necessary due to floor space and weight.
