Why Pickup Truck Dimensions and Size Matter
When you’re booking a pickup truck, asking for “a 3 ton” or “10 ton” vehicle is just the start. You also need to consider:
- Length, width, and height of the cargo bed
- Load volume (in cubic meters)
- Type of cargo: boxed, bulky, fragile, heavy, etc.
- Trip distance and unloading conditions
Overshooting or underestimating truck size leads to:
- Extra trips
- Damaged goods
- Wasted space and money
