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

USHip dot com, which I found on the UHaul dot com website. They broker your LTL (less than truckload) shipment to subscribing shippers who bid the job. You choose which bidder. Could be a couple of guys with a Penske rental, or a full service mover with some empty space on the truck, or a specialty hauler with empty space. We had good luck with three shipments, though one guy dropped off my table saw at the wrong location. He showed up a few weeks later with it.
