About
A moving truck is an enclosed cargo vehicle designed to transport furniture and household goods during relocations.
Rental moving trucks vary in size, ranging from small 10-foot cargo vans up to 26-foot commercial haulers built for large homes. A mid-sized model at 20.3 feet (6.2 m) offers enough cargo space to clear out a two-bedroom apartment in one trip. Even at this size, it remains light enough at 7,716 pounds (3,500 kg) unladen for standard passenger vehicle licensing in most areas. Its 9.8-foot (3 m) height means drivers must stay alert to low-clearance bridges, drive-through overhangs, and low tree branches.
From Wikipedia
A moving company, also known as a removalist or van line, is a company that specializes in assisting individuals and businesses with relocating their goods from one location to another. Moving companies may offer additional or all-inclusive services for relocations, like packing, loading, moving, unloading, unpacking, and arranging of items to be shifted.
