Moving Truck

Box trucks are what most people think of when they hear “moving truck.” These are the real heavyweights of professional, as well as self-moving, and they tend to be the best for most moves — especially for long-distance travel.

You probably see moving trucks on a regular basis, either parked in front of a home or rumbling through the city. From small 10-12 ft rental trucks, through medium-sized moving vans and all the
