Remember when you were a kid and you thought for sure you could eat a huge serving of your favorite dish? Despite a heroic effort on your part, your rabid, feeding frenzy soon slowed to a crawl as you hardly made a dent into the food.                                                      

Renting a moving truck can create the same illusion. You may look at a truck and think, "There is no way we are going to need all this space." However, halfway into the move the truck is nearly full and you realize the eyes of your move are bigger than the stomach of your truck. Well, to avoid that moment of indigestion, you can calculate out how much of a truck is needed for your move.

Did I say there would be no math on this post??? You will need 150 cubic feet of cargo space on the truck for each room you move. Example -- A 10-foot truck has 400 cubic feet of cargo space, while a 24-foot truck has 900 cubic feet.

                                                Conversion Formula ---> CUBIC FEET to TRUCK FEET

         Length in Feet = Volume in cubic feet divided by height x width of the truck box in feet.
