WE used 2 --16ft pods and if you use 2 PODS and are planning to have professional movers unload you..you may run into a problem. Even though we have a 2 car PLUS GC driveway with a fairly good size driveway, the POD guy would not drop 2 PODS side by SIDE and would not drop them on the grass. I scheduled delivery of the pods at the hosue one day and scheduled the unloaders to come the next day..not having both pods there at the same time was potentially troublesome for me. I almost ...well I wont go there...but I had to unload the first pod my self and then they brought the second pod for the movers to unload. Believe me I bitched and almost got thrown in jail...becaue I would not let the first POD driver go until I spoke adn spoke then to his BOSS.......the first driver after talking to his dispatcher took pictures and then the second driver came by and said it could have worked but my first driver was a new worker who didnt want to cause any liability problems by breaking sprinkler lines or causing problems with putting it on teh grass. It was a hectic start to the end of teh move but it all worked out in the end.

Almost certain long distance across state lines you have to use the 16 footers. 2 of them from N Va cost me approx 3000- 3400. We hired Professional Packers and unloaders on both ends

Good Guy to use for UNLOADING locally is Arthur Martin 352-347-3420 or his cell is 352-207-4896...I think his cell is the better contact number.
