Rent a truck to move your stuff?

[Rudey]

If you're making an out of state move, does it really cost like 2K to get movers? This shiznizzle is ridiculous.

Even uhaul costs like 800 and I'm assuming gas is gonna be ridiculous.

Does anyone have any tips, ideas how to do it cheaply?

Hook a brother up.

Look no further! This is just like "PODS" but a little cheaper. Give this website a try and get a quote. It was going to cost me around $1300 to rent a truck and tow for my car. This cost around $1000 to move from FL to TX, and I had 2 containers. If you only need one, it could be cheaper, depending on the distance. It was way more convenient and cheaper than driving a U-Haul halfway across country.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone making an out of state move. Is Cali not working out for you Rudey?

I was thinking about doing that and getting some Mexican day laborers to help me pack.

My roommate keeps raising the rent on me and I am tired of living in a drug den.

When we moved across the country, we rented a truck and then hired some dudes to come load up the truck. It was at least $1000 cheaper than the movers we'd originally hired, and I didn't have to worry about my stuff being on some mysterious journey for like two weeks.

Like a uhaul/budget/penske truck? how much was it? how about gas? Someone told me I'm looking at 700 in gas which sounds ridiculous and that i'd be going 45 mph so i'd have to make a lot of stops.

i rented a uhaul this past weekend for a five hour tip... i got three days for $115 after insurance was $195... in one day i spent $200 on gas! it didn't help i got the truck practically empty, but thats how i turned it it

Rudey, feel for You man.

Gas for any rental truck today is going to cost a ton Of $$$$$$

They put governors on them for speed you keep it to the floor and still has one speed, crappy! U-Haul especially has junk trucks and if you rent one, buy insurance in case the damn thing breaks down.

Sell as much stuff as you can, it may be cheaper to buy new.

Can't say about the Pods, but have been seeing more of them lately.

Hiring someone as a moving company can be a crap shoot. Lots of crooks even some of the big named ones.

Good luck Dude!!!!!

This is my life right now. I really should have followed my first mind and just "paid" my boyfriend and his friends to move my stuff. The movers have given the biggest migraine ever.

rudey, do the right thing. Write the check, and let somebody else move your stuff.

How attached to your stuff are you?

It is sometimes cheaper to unload all your furniture and pack up the car and start over in the new city.

You know I would. Except the check for that comes out to even more than 4K i found out. What a ripoff.

adpiucf, i've got it all listed online so if someone buys it, fine. If not, then i guess i'm screwed and have to move it all myself. My favorite thing about listing it online is people with Mexican sounding names that email me and obviously didn't read my listing price and offer a tenth of that.

If any illegal workers read greekchat, contact me and we'll get you a job moving my stuff.
