For a local move, a 10 to 16 foot truck should suffice for a studio or one-bedroom apartment, especially if you can make more than one trip.
If you have a two- to three-bedroom home, a 20-foot truck should be sufficient.
If you have a four- or five-bedroom home, a 26-foot truck would be appropriate.
Consider the amount of belongings you have and the size of your larger furniture pieces when choosing the size of the truck.

What size truck do I need to move in one trip?
If you own a well furnished home, and want reasonable odds of moving all your items in a single trip, such as when you have a longer move distance or are paying help by the hour:
Use a 26' truck per each 1,500 square feet of furnished space.
A lot depends on how much stuff you have, so this rule of thumb is based on a well furnished home. But many people may be lightly furnished, and could get 1,600-2,000 square feet into a 26' truck.

What items use up the most space in the truck?
Typically, large furniture pieces such as sofas, armoires, dining tables, and mattresses tend to use up the most space in moving trucks.
Additionally, large household items like appliances, box springs, and entertainment centers can also take up a considerable amount of space. To maximize space in a moving truck, it's important to disassemble large furniture items and place smaller items and boxes in and around the larger pieces.
Make sure to stack boxes securely to prevent them from shifting during transit.
