Quarter Truck Load FAQs
How much stuff is actually a quarter truck?
Think the size of a standard pickup truck bed, or about 4 to 6 standard moving boxes plus a couple of pieces of furniture. If you can see all your junk in one corner of the garage, it's almost always a quarter truck or less.
How long does a quarter-truck job take?
Most Pittsburgh quarter-truck jobs take 30 to 45 minutes from when we pull up to when we drive away. Faster if everything is curbside, a little slower if we have to go up or down stairs.
Can I schedule a quarter-truck pickup for the same day?
Yes, usually. If you call before 2pm and you're in the Pittsburgh metro, we can almost always fit you in same-day. Same-day adds a small surcharge. Next-day is standard pricing.
