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

If you’re game for moving yourself, and you have some reason to return to NE after you’ve unloaded at this end, check into price of u-haul rental with drop-off at the same location you picked-up. I recently rented a trailer to haul some things from Mass. Rental cost one-way to TV was over $1k. Alternatively, it cost about $300 to pick-up in TV haul it empty to Mass., and return with load / drop-off at TV. Good luck
