Is a 10 ft truck big enough for a one-bedroom apartment?

For a minimally furnished one-bedroom it can work, but most one-bedrooms with a full sofa and dining set are tight. A 16 ft truck is the comfortable size for a one-bedroom.

What is the payload of a 10 ft moving truck?

A 10 ft rental truck typically carries around 2,800 to 3,000 lb of payload. Dense loads of books and tools can reach that limit before the small box is visually full.
