Driving isn't all that bad, example from NY a 16' from Ryder one way is $1050, a 26' is $1500. plus fuel at 10-12 mpg.
You can also tow your car (or trailer to use a smaller truck if it does fit in a 16' as example) If you tow a car you offset gas costs there a bit too.
So it's 1100 miles. Hire 2 men to unload not sure say $200-300 for a day.
Rental $1050
gas $400
labor $250
Pods we would need two they are small, $4500
I think either way the stress and aggravation is the same
