moving truck

Furniture hauling vehicle

A moving truck is a large vehicle rented or hired to transport household belongings during a move.

These trucks are typically box-shaped with a cargo area accessible through a roll-up door: We loaded the moving truck at dawn and drove twelve hours to the new apartment.

The term covers both self-driven rentals and trucks operated by professional movers.
