[QUOTE="Texas Speed Bump, post: 2174891, member: 115057"] Years ago when I was moving my 'soon to be wife' from Portland, Oregon to Austin, Texas, we priced all the various options and ended up renting space in a long haul truck. I never even knew that kind of thing was available until then but it worked out really well and was way cheaper than renting a U-Haul. There are services that broker this kind of deal, such as this one: ([URL]https://www.moving.com/tips/why-you-should-consider-using-a-freight-trailer-to-move/[/URL]) but basically you tell them where you're moving from, to, and when; then they arrange to have a box trailer dropped off at your house on a Friday. You have the weekend to pack and load your stuff then you build a plywood bulkhead to separate your stuff from the the other goods the truck/trailer is going to haul. They come pick up the trailer on Monday, load and deliver their freight (which is geographically going to be near where you're moving to) then they bring the trailer by your new residence for you to unload. You don't have the whole weekend to unload like you do to load but it worked out fine. It took about a week for the truck to show up at our new address in Texas. The only thing to remember about doing this is that these 18-wheeler trailers don't have much cushion for your goods so a the freight guy told us "pack your stuff like the Jolly Green Giant was going to pick up the trailer and shake it. We must have done a good job because we had no issues. [/QUOTE]
