Whether you’re running a residential moving service or handling commercial office relocations, the right box truck can make the difference between a smooth, profitable job and a stressful one. Here’s what moving company owners should know before buying their next used truck.

What Moving Companies Should Look for in a Truck

• Cargo space that matches your typical job size — a studio apartment move needs far less room than a full family home
• Lift gate capability to safely load heavy furniture and appliances without straining your crew
• Interior tie-down points to secure furniture and prevent shifting during transit
• Non-CDL options so more of your crew can legally drive the truck

Choosing the Right Box Truck Size

• 16ft box trucks — Ideal for studio and one-bedroom moves
• 20ft–22ft box trucks — The sweet spot for most two- and three-bedroom residential moves
• 24ft–26ft box trucks — Built for larger homes, office relocations, and high-volume moving companies

Why Lift Gates Matter for Moving Businesses

A lift gate isn’t just a convenience — it directly affects how fast your crew can load and unload, how many jobs you can complete in a day, and how much strain your team takes on physically. When shopping for a moving truck, a functioning lift gate should be near the top of your checklist.

What to Inspect Before Buying a Used Moving Truck

• Box/cargo area condition — no water damage, rust, or structural issues that could damage customer belongings
• Lift gate and roll-up door functionality
• Interior tie-down points and wall condition
• Full mechanical inspection with documented results
• Verified mileage and maintenance history

Non-CDL Advantages for Moving Companies

Most box trucks under 26,001 lbs GVWR only require a standard California Class C license. For moving companies, this means more of your crew can legally drive the truck between jobs, giving you far more scheduling flexibility during busy seasons.
