"By volume" is total space divided by item size. Real loads leave gaps; the 3D view above counts how many fit when packed tightly.
A 15 foot moving truck has a cargo box about 15 feet long, 7.7 feet wide and 7.2 feet high inside, around 830 cubic feet before counting any over-cab space.
Rental companies generally suggest it for a one or two-bedroom home. The jump from a 10 foot truck is bigger than it sounds: the box is longer, wider and taller, so it holds more than twice the volume.
Refrigerators and washers should ride upright, which is how the 3D view packs them.
