A garage, a basement corner, or a small apartment. Here is what fits.

Example: what a half truck looks like
A rental turnover where the last tenant left a couch, a bed frame, a mattress, 8 bags of trash, a broken TV, and an armchair. That's a textbook half truck, usually under an hour, so the unit can be shown the next morning.
Half Truck Load FAQs
Is a half truck enough for a full garage cleanout?
Usually, yes. A standard 2-car Pittsburgh garage with shelving and a few years of clutter fits in a half truck about 80% of the time. If your garage is packed floor-to-ceiling, you're probably looking at a full truck instead.
How long does a half-truck job take?
Most Pittsburgh half-truck jobs take 45 to 75 minutes. Longer if the items are far from the curb or if there are stairs.
What if I'm not sure whether I'm a half or a full truck?
Call us and describe the job, or send a couple of photos. We can usually give you a confident range over the phone. On job day we always confirm the volume in the field before we haul anything away.
