What size truck do I need?

Roughly: a cargo van is about 250 cubic feet, a 10-foot truck about 400, 15-foot about 760, 20-foot about 1,000, 26-foot about 1,700.

Add up what you're actually taking and allow about 15% extra for packing room — and size up rather than down.

This app works it out from your own boxes and furniture.
