🚐 Cargo van or 🚚 box truck — which one do you actually need for your move?
Not every NYC move requires a full-size moving truck.
For smaller moves, studios, storage pickups, furniture deliveries, boxes, bags, or just a few larger items, a cargo van may be the more affordable and efficient option.
But for full apartments, larger furniture, bedroom sets, couches, and bigger inventories, a box truck usually makes more sense.
So why does a box truck move cost more?
A box truck costs more to insure, fuel, maintain, and operate — and larger moves usually require more movers, equipment, and loading time.
The cheapest vehicle isn’t always the cheapest move either. Trying to squeeze a box-truck-sized move into a cargo van could mean multiple trips, more time, and ultimately a higher cost.
