Choosing the wrong truck size means multiple trips, wasted money, and added stress. At A-American Self Storage, we’ve helped Texans move since 1970. Here’s how to get it right the first time.
Quick Truck Size Guide

15′ Truck – 1-2 bedrooms

17′ Truck – 2-3 bedrooms

3 Simple Tips
1. Make a List Walk through every room and count your furniture pieces. Don’t forget garage items, outdoor furniture, and items in storage.
2. When in Doubt, Size Up It’s better to have extra space than to make two trips. The cost difference is minimal.
3. Mattresses Take More Space King and queen mattresses need to stand upright against walls, which limits other packing options.
Quick Formula
Number of Rooms x 150 = Cubic Feet Needed
Example: 5 rooms x 150 = 750 cubic feet (15-17′ truck)
