[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 2731221, member: 69799"] I've moved from South Carolina to Texas in 2017 and from Texas to Kentucky in 2020 with my collection. I've loaded and driven my assortment of safes/guns/ammo with me on both trips. On both trips, I drove straight through, only stopping for gas/food/bathroom trips and the occasional power nap. You should be able to make the 10 hour + trip in one day. A 26' U-Haul will handle 3 large safes when you load them with the sides placed against the inside wall of the cargo area. The ramp on the back of the 26' U-Haul will support a safe, the dolly, and 3 Division 1 linemen (or other big bodies guys) for loading and unloading. Most of my possessions were moved by my previous employer from Texas to Kentucky. The mover was ****ed I wouldn't let him take my safes since he got paid by the weight of cargo he transported. I'm not a very trusting person, so I would NEVER let someone else take my stuff. The Grandma's Attic in the trucks is a great place to store your gun cases. I put the guns in the Grandma's Attic, put up pieces of plywood to make sure they didn't move, then placed the safe's against the plywood to keep everything nice and tight. I then placed the contents of my garage and storage unit between the back door of the U-Haul and the safes in such a manner that a greased midget couldn't crawl through to get to the guns. Get yourself the biggest furniture dolly you can find, and with the help of a few friends, you will be good-to-go. Keep the paperwork with your NFA items. [/QUOTE]
