Shared vs Dedicated Truck for Intercity Moving: Which to Choose?

For an intercity move, the single biggest cost choice is the truck: a shared part-load or a dedicated full truck. The right pick can save you thousands.

Shared truck (part-load)

Your goods share a truck with other shipments. It's the cheapest option and ideal for smaller homes (1 RK / 1–2 BHK) where you're flexible on the delivery date.

• Lower cost — you pay only for the space you use.
• Slightly slower — the truck consolidates multiple loads.
• Best for fewer items and a flexible timeline.

Dedicated truck

A whole truck just for your home. Faster, door-to-door, and best for larger homes (3–4 BHK) or when you need your goods quickly.

• Faster, exclusive door-to-door delivery.
• Better for big homes and tight timelines.
• Costs more than a shared part-load.

Quick recommendation

Small home + flexible date = shared. Large home or need-it-fast = dedicated. Packerwala's calculator prices both, so you can compare and choose what fits your budget.
