Start With the Load, Not the Truck

Start by listing what needs to travel. A two-bedroom move with boxes and a mattress differs from shifting garden rubble or a workshop's contents. Weigh the bulkiest items, estimate the total load, and note anything awkward, such as wardrobes that won't come apart. Those numbers do most of the deciding.

Think About Who's Driving

Who's behind the wheel matters as much as the cargo. A confident driver handling vans every week might take a larger body; a first-timer may prefer something with a shorter wheelbase. Think about parking at each end too, and whether the driver can manage two loaded trips in one afternoon.

Let the Journey Have Its Say

The journey deserves a say. Tight gateways, narrow residential streets, or a sloping driveway can all rule out a bigger cab. If your route involves reversing into a small space, a modest truck often wins. Walk or drive the route first, noting pinch points and low branches before you commit.

Why Bigger Isn't Automatically Better

There's a certain appeal to the largest truck on the list, yet a half-empty big body burns more fuel, turns badly in confined spots, and intimidates a nervous driver. A well-packed smaller body, with heavy items low and fragile things wedged safely, usually beats a cavernous one with everything sliding about.
