What jobs is a pickup truck for?
A pickup truck for hire is the smallest and cheapest option for jobs without a lot of items. It gets into narrow lanes and housing estates and parks easily in front of condos. Prices start at 1,500 baht. Most customers book a pickup for:

4-wheel jumbo truck hire
A 4-wheel jumbo truck sits between a pickup and a 6 wheel truck. Its bed is about 1.80 m wide and 3.00–3.20 m long, it carries up to 4 tonnes, and it comes as a box or a cage truck. It suits:
- A 1–2 bedroom house or a fully furnished condo
- Small shop and office moves
- Long items such as wardrobes, large sofas and 6-foot mattresses
It still gets into side streets more easily than a 6 wheel truck and costs less. If your load is under half a 6 wheel truck, the 4-wheel jumbo is the better deal.
How is the price calculated?
Prices start at 1,500 baht. The final price depends on:
- Distance – within Bangkok and its vicinity, or to another province
- Truck type – box pickup, cage pickup or 4-wheel jumbo
- Number of loaders and the site – for example upper floors with no lift, or a long walk from the room to the truck
- Hire type – whole-truck hire, or a shared load with other customers going the same way (cheaper for small loads)

Pickup trucks to other provinces
Our pickups run from Bangkok and Samut Prakan to anywhere in Thailand, as whole-truck hire or a shared load. They suit moving out of a dorm back home, sending a motorbike, or sending a pet that needs a driver looking after it all the way. More on moving to another province.
What to prepare before booking
- Photos of what you are moving, especially the biggest or longest item
- Pick-up and drop-off addresses, the floor, and whether there is a goods lift
- The hours your condo or dorm allows moving, and whether the lift must be booked
- How many loaders you need, and whether furniture must be taken apart and reassembled
