An additional seat in the 14-foot and 17-foot moving trucks is making a positive impact on the environment by reducing the number of vehicles driven per moving family. This additional seat allows three-member families to tow a vehicle, minimize emissions and improve fuel efficiency by eliminating an extra vehicle on the road.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average fuel efficiency of a passenger vehicle is approximately 17 mpg. Driving such a vehicle would produce 1.2 pounds of CO2 per mile. A family of three moving 350 miles from Arizona to California could keep 420 pounds of CO2 out of the atmosphere by towing their vehicle instead of driving along with the rental truck. This third seat helps protect our environment, and at the same time meets the needs of our customers by providing room for an extra passenger. Aside from making the move more fuel efficient, the third seat provides comfort for long travel, with a great amount of legroom.
