Sure you set the school record at Tetris back in 1996 but while you were hammering away at your Gameboy in the back of math class you might have missed some of the more valuable, greater geometry themes that day. For example, a truck shaped rectangle of a certain area can only fit a certain number of squares of a smaller area before there is simply no more area left to fill. The overwhelming confidence you have at fitting things in tight spaces, as a result of your Gameboy glory days, may actually backfire when it comes time to select your moving truck. Moving trucks come in all shapes and sizes, with larger trucks obviously coming at a much higher renting price. The “I’m sure I can squeeze it in” defense holds up about as well as Shaggy’s “It wasn’t me,” so don’t choose the rental counter as your time to suddenly get cheap.The rental truck company will provide you with an estimated cost of renting each size truck, which is also dependent on the total number of miles you need to drive it. In addition to this figure, they will also tell you approximately how much you can expect to fit in each size truck. Using U-Haul as a case study, you can rent a 10′ moving truck, a 14′ truck, a 17′ foot truck, a 24′ foot truck and a 26′ truck. Each of these models is advertised to fit an apartment, 1-2 bedrooms, 2-3 bedrooms, 3-4 bedrooms and 4 bedrooms, respectively. It is better to have more room than less room unless you’re so strapped for cash you wouldn’t mind a last minute yard sale. Bare in mind, the fine people at U-Haul haven’t actually seen your place, so if you had a wall removed to make way your surround sound entertainment center, there is no legal obligation that a “room” is defined by “any four connected walls.” Trying to cram more stuff into less space, like trying to fit into your high school football uniform (back before dumbbells turned to 12 ounce cans), may in serious injury or damage.
