Moving company for belongings

[RNKPCE]

I know some travelers pack their car and move to their assignment. But for those of you who bring more stuff, what company did you use to move your stuff, aprox cost, and would you do it that way again? Moving Van, Pods, etc.

I rented a moving van from Budget and hired crews on both ends with Moving Help® - Local Movers | Moving Labor Services | U-Haul partner It saved a lot of money over moving company or pods.

Just an FYI from those of us that do pack our cars. I am not sure if you are planning on moving furniture or not. But if that is not necessarily the case, I drive a compact car and you would be surprised at what I can pack. Nice clothes, sloppy clothes, uniforms, shoes, cooking items, spices, condiments, knick-knacks, books, electronics, towels, sheets, pillows, blankets, my bike, tennis racket, dumb bells, printer, TV, and even my memory foam bedding (just to name some of it). Some of the tricks are to put some of your items in those vacuum packed bags. They actually do work and save a lot of room. And once you begin to live away from home, you would be surprised how little you need to get by comfortably. I have been able to find furnished housing, so no need to bring any larger items. I do keep some items from my home in a storage locker for less than $75/month. I guess if you were planning on moving to the area you are working in, probably worth it to go ahead and pay to have it shipped. But I guess I have found that moving, even with the U-haul Pods was fairly expensive for even about a 500 mile trip. And even more so to do every few months. Far be it from me to tell you to pack your car. Just thought I would throw out a little advice from those of us that thought we WOULD have to pack a moving truck, but ended up to be just fine with what I can pack in my car. And yes, it is packed to the gills! Best of luck. Hope you find a cheap way to move your stuff.
