We can actually give you 4ft of space on one of the moving vans. That is 4ft deep, 8ft wide, and 8ft high. MovingYourself.com

What size is your largest trailer? We need to move a 3 bedroom, family room, full basement and garage. We have many large pieces of furniture/appliances.
from Norma K. in WI - 7/28/2015

Norma, All of our moving vans are 53' long. You can order part of it, or the whole thing! And our prices cannot be beaten. MovingYourself.com

OK...here is the question. I have been told that a RIG cannot enter my drive way at our Condo. I have been told that Rigs have been seen doing this. Do you have professionals that can estimate this? I don't want to have your truck arrive here and not be able to park outside and try to have to move contents twice.
from Erick R. in CA - 7/28/2015

Erick, All of the moving vans that we use are that, big moving vans. That being said, our carriers are in and out of neighborhoods and apartment complexes on a daily basis. If any full-size truck can get into your condo, ours can. If there is no way for us to do that, you would need to shuttle your goods out to the truck. MovingYourself.com

your full-sized moving van is pretty long at 53' i live in a apartment complex/community, i am a little concerned that your truck/ van might just not have enough room to maneuver around.... how do you address this if ever i will get your services?
from Julius D. in MO - 6/21/2015

We have two different sizes of moving vans available, 53ft and 28ft. I would recommend that you order one of the smaller moving vans for your order. If you have too much stuff and need more than 28ft and we need to bring a 53ft'er, you are correct that access to some apartment complexes can be a challenge. The driver will get the truck as close to your home as safely possible. In the event that is not close enough, you may need to shuttle your goods out to the MovingYourself.com truck by using a smaller truck. MovingYourself.com

what is the size of your trailors?
from Hal S. in GA - 4/30/2015

Hal, We have two sizes available. All of the trucks are 8ft wide, and 9ft high (inside dimensions). We have both 28ft and 53ft long trucks with those inside dimensions. Each truck has moveable walls so that you get your own compartment in the moving van and your goods are not comingled. MovingYourself.com

What are the height and width dimensions of the space?
from jacob s. in WI - 2/28/2015

The moving trucks are 8ft wide and approximately 9ft high (there are minor variances from on truck to another). MovingYourself.com

How much time will I get to load if I buy 10ft of space?
from Kara g. in GA - 2/28/2015

Kara, All of the moving trucks are 8ft wide and 8.5ft tall. So, when we say you are buying 10ft, you are getting 10ft x 8ft x 9ft inside the truck. The 10ft is the length measurement. MovingYourself.com

What are the dimensions of the inside of the moving truck? How tall/wide?
from Kim B. in WA - 1/8/2015

The moving trucks are 8.5ft wide and 9ft tall inside. MovingYourself.com

I live on a small street in south philadelphia pa 19145 how large is the truck?
from tom v. in PA - 12/7/2014

Tom, The moving trucks are quite large (full-sized tractor-trailers). South Philly can be quite a challenge for access. If we cannot get the truck in front of your home, you may need to shuttle your goods to the closest safe parking place. MovingYourself.com
