Default Thumbs way up for U-Pack

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
My wife and I recently moved from Cleveland, Ohio to TV and had a fantastic experience with U-Pack. They were extremely easy to work with, had friendly, helpful people in both Cleveland and Ocala, and most importantly, kept every promise. The trailer was delivered precisely on time. I was able to track its progress to Florida online. They gave me a guaranteed delivery date, and fulfilled it. A big added plus for me was that they allow motorcycles in the trailer, which saved me the additional expense of having to ship it separately. I give U-Pack an A+
