A one-bedroom apartment move with BoxHauls usually takes two pickup loads, at $17.00 plus $3.10 a mile each. That’s $48.00 per 10-mile load in Fresno. It’s one of BoxHauls’ small moves.

Two trips is typical

A one-bedroom’s bed, couch, dresser, table and 25–40 boxes rarely fit in one pickup bed. Plan on two loads: furniture first, boxes second. Book as Movin' Boxes.

When movers make more sense

If it’s three or more loads, a long carry or an elevator building, a moving company’s box truck may cost less overall. BoxHauls fits best when most of what you own fits in one or two pickup trips.
