Does anyone have a reliable company that they used to move long distance where they felt they got good value?
Is there anyone from New England moving down this fall/winter and should we split a moving truck to save some costs?
I know people say don't bring your stuff with you and just buy new, we are not even bringing that much furniture, probably 4 to 5 pieces of furniture at most but we have so many totes filled with clothes, sporting equipment, mementos from over the years so we don't want to downsize any further until we get into our new house.
Thanks in advance

I had good luck with Upack. They came when I asked, picked the loaded trailer up within an hour of when we packed it; dropped it off on the day I asked; after unloading by the Village Mover, Upack came within an hour and took the empty trailer away. $2500 for 18 ft of the trailer from the midwest. I didn't want my stuff loaded and unloaded off of the truck etc like the big national movers do. The Village Movers also did an excellent job of unloading and assembling the beds, etc. Best of luck and bring whatever makes you happy.
