He packed and loaded for us and then drove our U-Haul across the country, pulling my car. Matt and the dogs and I drove in Matt's car. Maybe you could find someone respectable and hire them on the side? We hired a friend of the family who is a high school football coach who does moving on the side.

They were one of those you pack it, we drive it kinds of deals and their reviews were very high online. They were FANTASTIC, the driver was amazing, none of our stuff got broken, and the whole thing cost us $2000. We hired the driver at some set amount per hour on each end to help load and unload. his experience on how to pack our square footage to maximize space and safety of our goods was INVALUABLE! he called us all along the way to let us know his progress and our stuff arrived in perfect condition about 10-14 days later. i would highly recommend BE! email me if you have any questions. oh, and if you go to my blog, you can see pics of our process and our driver (with his cute dog), posted in August 2007. when we moved from CA to VT in 2007, we used Broadway Express.

We've done that-they are always awesome-and goodness knows they need the money. But if you're on your own-for safety reasons-of course you wouldn't want to do that.

This must be so stressful-I am sorry buddy! I hate moving-esp. cross country. Blech. I would get rid of everything I could part with and then hire a moving company to move what’s left.

Look up Budget Truck Rentals, they are better that u-haul and up in the DC metro area are often associated with a storage place. You can drop off your truck and put your extra stuff in storage. The trucks are nicer than u-haul and the peole working for them are moderately more competant. doin it yorself would be my first bet.

Horrible horrible. They never mentioned that our tractor trailer would be hauled via train. Boxes stacked on furniture (which had been double wrapped in padded moving blankets) wore through the stain on the furniture from the constant vibration of the tracks. That's just the tip of the iceberg. I won't go on because I already feel my blood pressure rising. U-haul or Ryder. Not a blast, but safe. ABF= all our stuff broken. Horrible horrible.
