Default Rental Truck vs. Pod

I am doing research on truck rentals vs. a pod type move. We our selling/emptying our second home and moving it here. The first home was moved by a moving company and they obviously did everything. The second home has maybe half the items, or about a 16 ft truck. Yes, we have downsized lots of things too. What I have found is the pod move costs nearly as much as a moving company! I know pods are more convenient than driving a rental truck on an interstate move.... But $1000-1500 more? Even with gas for the truck. Does anyone know or recommend a reasonable pod company? I checked..PODS, U-pack, Mayflower, and U-Haul versus Penski and Budget rental trucks.
