When moving locally in the Portland Oregon - Vancouver Washington area, a 26 foot straight truck should do the job. Tractor-trailers are normally reserved and needed for long distance moving where multiple trips are not practical.
All My Sons Moving & Storage of Portland Inc., has a fleet of 9 26-foot straight trucks that can safely transport up to 10,000 lbs of furniture. Most of our customers do not understand how weight relates to their home and move. To simply explain this, a 26 foot truck can generally hold the entire contents of a 2,000 sq. ft home. One must also take into account how long they have lived at a particular residence. Greater time almost always equals greater weight. The same rule also applies with children. Statistics show that the average family accumulates 1,000 lbs of belongings PER YEAR!
So what if you have a home that is larger than 2,000 sq. feet. Now what? Well that would depend on where you are moving to. If you are moving from Lake Oswego, Oregon to Beaverton, Oregon and have a 4,000 sq. foot home, two trips with one truck is practical because it is only a fifteen minute drive. If however you are moving from Hillsboro, Oregon to Gresham, Oregon and have a 4,000 sq. foot home, two trucks with one trip is more efficient due to the sluggish traffic of HWY 26 & I-84 which can take more than one hour to drive.
