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
Village mover in Fruitland Park and dont confuse them with The Villages Mover in Ocala which is a scam company. I dont know about their pricing for out of state but a move from TV to Ft Lauderdale was $2200 to pack up your entire house, dishes, knick knacks, furniture everything. The move itself was also $2200 and they will unpack, put all furniture together and they provide all boxes for free. Ithink it was way worth it. If you dont have alot of things, the packing price will be lower.
