The 15-foot U-Haul truck at Route 66 Auto Repair in Upland is the middle size many apartment movers land on. It is often chosen for 1 to 2 bedroom moves with a couch, beds and a kitchen full of boxes. Reserve on uhaul.com, pick up at our Upland lot, and we walk the truck with you and photograph the fuel before you go.
Why do so many apartment movers pick the 15-foot size?
It is the point where a full living room and two bedrooms fit without a second trip, but the truck still fits most apartment driveways. For renters moving between complexes in Upland, Ontario or Rancho Cucamonga, that balance matters more than raw space.
If your home has a garage full of tools and patio furniture, look at the 20-foot truck. If you only have a studio, the 10-foot truck may do.
What order should you load a 15-foot truck?
- Refrigerator, washer and dryer against the front wall
- Mattresses and box springs standing along the sides
- Dressers and cabinets, drawers taped, in the middle
- Heavy boxes on the floor, light boxes on top
- Couch on end or on its back last, padded well
- Lamps, mirrors and plants in the final gap
What should you know before driving it?
A loaded 15-foot truck takes longer to stop than your car. Leave extra space on Foothill Blvd, where lights change fast. Check the clearance before pulling under anything, and back up with a spotter. On the 210, stay in the right lanes and let faster traffic pass.

Frequently asked questions
How many rooms fit in a 15-foot truck?
It is commonly chosen for 1 to 2 bedroom moves. Large sectionals, pianos and garage items take up more room than boxes, so confirm current capacity on uhaul.com and size up if unsure.
Should I choose the 15-foot or 20-foot truck?
If you have a garage or patio set, or three full bedrooms, the 20-foot is usually safer. For an apartment with a normal living room, the 15-foot often works.
Can a 15-foot truck tow my car?
Towing depends on the pairing U-Haul allows. Add a tow dolly or auto transport trailer on uhaul.com, which checks it, and we run the free hookup check at pickup.
