How many pickup trucks would it take to haul all your stuff?

Probably 3 or 4. I have more stuff than I'd like to admit to, I'm a huge packrat.

I've done it in four trips, but if I were to move cross country I could leave most of my stuff behind and get the important stuff in one trip.

Oh man. 1.5 Uhaul moving vans.......20 pickups?

One regular sized van  (1.5 pickup trucks)

Since i just moved, I know that it would only take one and a half

Well, since I am married it is really the "stuff" of 2 people. I would say 2 or 3 trucks. After having moved across the country a few times, I would prefer, at this point, to hire some one else to do the hauling.

I 'm not accustomed to thinking in pick-up truck sizes, but my worldly goods and chattels would fit in the second-smallest U-haul trailer with room to spare. House plants would have to travel separately.

I moved six months ago with a pick up and a small covered trailer.  So, I would say probably 6 to 8 loads in just a pick up bed. Not too bad.

Hmmm. I don't know, but it would suck if you're stuff  flew out the back while on the highway. Wouldn't a mini-van be more effective? I think my stuff could all fit into one mini van -- that is, if the back seats were removed.

I'd say 10 to 15.

I don't know, maybe 5. No, probably 10. It's hard to tell since I usually use a little bigger truck than that when I move! I have a lot of furniture, but not a lot of "stuff".

About two. I don't really own a lot of stuff, but I do own a lot of clothes.

Angela, 16

Only one ;-)

Probably at least a dozen. It half fills a good-sized moving van. One does accumulate things over the years

Haven't measures in pickups. Discounting furniture, all of which has been left behind by other people I have helped move, I can fit everything into one medium sized sedan. And a second trip for the computer.

one, maybe half of one. .

One pickup truck, and some boxes, which could all fit in a small car (Mostly filled with books).

Two. 3/4 of a Uhaul did it too.

A lot, if I took everything. I mean, I have two beds and three chairs to my name, on top of all my lifetime collection of stuff. But if I were just going to pontaneously take off, I'd probably take one tote bag. If I were to have a couple days' notice, I'd probably take a tote bag and a suitcase.

Good Question, I suppose 5 neatly loaded pick up trucks or 3 big six-wheelers.

Jami, 27
Lowell

5-7 full-size pickup trucks...that's what my man says, but I think it might take more than that. I only live in a tiny two bedroom place, but I have LOTS of stuff!!!
