does anyone have any ideas???

Answer 1

Look up Penske I recently (2 weeks) moved from the West coast to the Suburban Chicago area, a 16 ft. cost me $800 +, the gas was about $1,000.00 +, but I drove the truck, plus a separate car. Check online, you get a discount for booking online.

Good Luck

Answer 2

hook up with a 18 wheeler that is going your way and deal with them.

Answer 3

ask friends to help.

Answer 4

Check out small family owned moving companies in your area and see what you can work out.  In my opinion Uhaul is a very bad deal all round because the trucks are VERY poorly maintained, when you read the fine print if the truck breaks down you are responsible for sorting out what to do with your stuff, you have to do all the  packing and lifting, you will have to pay for the gas for the trip, etc.
