Most PODS will have tie downs....but if you have a good packer...I mean eperienced, they will know how to use teh matress and box spring or couch cushions for example, as a means to prevent damage. Tie down also help to prevent a load from shifting, but the real answer to to pack it tight, use furniture pads (over the hardwoods) that you can rent from U-haul up north and return here and then tie it in. Also using moving boxes (get them at Sams, Home depot or U-Haul) as opposed to grocery/commercial boxes are much better for they are uniform in size, made for specific types of household goods (ie china, glassware, TV, clothing), and fit better whether you are using a POD or U-haul truck.
