What size moving truck to use?

What size moving truck to use? I have to move in a week and I am trying to pick a truck size at Uhaul but I can't decide. I have a small one bedroom apartment. I would like to move everything in one trip. I am trying to decide between the 17 foot or the 24 foot truck. Here is a list of all the furniture and number of boxes we will be moving: One full size bed 2 large dressers 1 small dresser 1 desk 4 chairs small dining table 3 medium bookshelves 1 big couch 1 king size Corduroy bean bag sofa 1 big tv tv stand 1 headboard 1 large framed picture 23 large tuperware storage containers 20 small-medium boxes of stuff 1 big computer monitor and tower ok, so that is all our stuff...should we use the 17 foot or the 24 foot to move it all in one trip? The other thing I need to consider is that the 24 foot truck might be a hassle to drive and park at the new place. We are also only moving 5 minutes down the street.

1. Use the 17 ft. The 24 ft will hold a 2-3 bed room home and you certainly dont have that much stuff. Remember it is cubic feet you are using and therefore you want to pack it in well so that things dont shift during the drive.
2. i think you need a 24 foot truck.
3. Get the 17 footer. You can always do 2 trips if its only 5 minutes away.
