We are about in the same geographical area so your numbers are pretty consistant with mine. The problem is that I also have two cars so I didn't want to drive a truck.

I have called a moving company for a quote, but I've read so many horror stories about poor delivery, additional costs, broken/damaged/missing goods that I'm not sure that's a good option.
