How we measure a load
We think of the truck box as a set of equal blocks. A sofa takes four blocks, an armchair two, five boxes one. A full load is about thirty two blocks, packed tight from the floor up.
That is why the meter speaks in words: a corner, a quarter, half, a full load. It is a planning tool, not a bill. The final amount is confirmed when we see the items, before anything is lifted.
Things that change the size
Furniture that comes apart takes less room than it looks. A bed frame broken down into rails and a headboard stacks flat. Bagged leaves pack better than loose brush. Boxes that are full and taped stack higher than open bins.
On the other hand, awkward shapes take more room than their weight suggests. A sectional sofa, a round table or a treadmill with fixed arms leaves gaps around it. We pack those first and fill the gaps with boxes and bags.
When it is more than one load
Big garages, offices and packed storage units can run past a single truck. We plan for a second trip on the same day when we know it in advance, so tell us in the request if you expect a lot.
