Penske Truck Rental Boxes Make Packing Easier

READING, Pa., April 29, 2008 - Some say moving is among the most stressful times in a person's life. Now, there's a brand new Web site from Penske Truck Rental that helps do-it-yourself movers take some of the stresses out of moving – especially when it comes to packing their truck.

Do-it-yourselfers can now visit http://penskeboxes.smartpackit.com to easily calculate approximately how many boxes will be able to fit into their rental truck to make their overall moving experience easier.

For example, a 16-foot box truck, which many consumers rent from Penske Truck Rental when moving from or into a small-to mid-sized apartment or condo, can typically hold up to 45 boxes consisting of 30 medium boxes (18"x14"x12") and 15 large boxes (20"x20"x15").

"If a customer ever has a question about what they might need for their big move, be it truck size, boxes, or supplies our phone representatives can easily advise them by calling 1-800-GOPENSKE," said Art Vallely, Senior Vice President - Rental for Penske Truck Leasing. "This packing Web site is yet another tool to help make our customers' moves with us as smooth and easy as possible."

After consumers use the online tool to calculate their approximate box needs, they can then also order boxes or other moving supplies, and also rent the Penske truck from PenskeTruckRental.com that best suits their moving needs.
