We are looking at hiring a removal-size truck and moving ourselves (my FIL has 'heavy rigid' truck licence). But, as our settlements are on the same day, we have to be out of this house, but cannot access the new house for probably and hour or two later - which means EVERYTHING has to be cleared out of this house and in the truck ready to go.
My question is.....does a normal house-hold load of furniture (3 bedrooms, 2 living areas) fit in one removal truck size or do you normally have to do 2 or 3 loads even with that size truck??
Just wondering if anyone has moved recently can help me - did removalists get it all in one go?
Thanks Joles..... when we moved not long ago, we had a smaller truck (the size you don't need a special licence for) but we still needed 2 or 3 trips (can't remember if it was 2 or 3 plus a few loaded up car trips. So we obviously have quite a bit of stuff - and need to make sure it would all fit in a large removal truck before we go down that path. (plus we have outdoor setting, pot plants, etc etc)
