Didn't know about UHaul. We looked at craigslist and found some for $40/hour for the loading, and we also thought about just going the Home Depot day-worker route. Will check out U-Haul.
Wow, maybe mine aren't so bad. Got one for $8300 today and am awaiting the second. This wouldn't seem so bad but WE HAVE NO STUFF since moving back to the country. Really, a couple of beds, a couple of TVs, a couple of couches...not the years of stuff most people would have nor the tons of stuff we got rid of before moving. Just seemed outlandish. Old Krista (no comments) would have just paid without thinking about it, but this is not your grandfather's Krista.

Is PODS an option?

That's cute.
Should I invest in some Just For Men?

Every bottle of that should come with a pair of boxer-briefs that has "Just For Men" embroidered on them.That's cute.

Apparently there is some tariff issue with a PA intrastate move that makes it expensive. The $2500 company is shipping my stuff on a big truck with other loads and can only promise me delivery between feb 26-28 right now, but will know the real date by feb 20. The other company would move m stuff alone and deliver the day after packing.Didn't know about UHaul.

This is true. I'm sick that I am paying all this to move, then paying high rent for a house, only likely to move in 12-18 months when I buy a house. I'm not in the position to qualify for a mortgage with a new job and close on a house in less than a month right now.

you don't know what PODS are?
it's a moving service. they deliver a big box, you put your stuff in it, they move the box, then you unload your stuff.

Thankfully my GB owns a moving company. My next move will be a hole in the ground.

This is what I was thinking. Why not just sell the stuff you have on craigslist then buy new stuff when you get to Seattle? Throw your clothes and a few personal effects in the car and ROAD TRIP!!!

Lol...yeah check it out. I've used them on a local move and would use again. My buddy used them for cross country move once I think. Worth looking into.
didn't you just buy 2 new flatscreens in Atlanta?

We used it when we were staging the house. Pretty convenient. Had the movers unload it though.

Truck is $1400.
Definitely thought about that. Since we have so little and are not connected to it (not like when I got rid of the rest of my stuff in August) we could just start over, mostly, but #######IT I hate buying mattresses. That is the biggest factor; they are so damn expensive and such a pain and I love the two we bought.

I berated my GB from KC for a solid five severely drunken minutes for saying "phone tag" Saturday night.

Yes, that was my reference to "a couple of TVs". They are big and beautiful. We could sell and rebuy, I suppose.

Why would they be much cheaper than a normal mover? Nevermind, will check out. Thanks!

You can still drive all your cats and husbands.Hold on, WAIT! So all they do is the driving? I like the driving part.
I'd just look into it as an option but don't know if it's the best option for you. I drove from Texas to Oregon...but all I owned back then was clothes, fabulous hair, books on tape and unbridled enthusiasm. My parents shipped my giant speakers.

Big fan of driving across the country at least once in your life....it's a big asssssss place.

That may be true, but I think you are failing to appreciate how far it is from Atlanta to Seattle. I just asked the google and the reply was:Hold on, WAIT! So all they do is the driving? I like the driving part.

From Minnesota to New York as a kid and from Minnesota to Utah as an adult. Enjoyed and hated them both in different ways.

Oh, I'll definitely look into it tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendation (you too, Aaron). Other than Nica I have never been in control of my own move so really don't know much, or anything really, about choosing how to move. I guess as great as the cross-country trek sounds (I've never been to South Dakota!) it might not be the ideal time to do it. Might be best just to get the #### out there without the hassle.You can still drive all your cats and husbands.Hold on, WAIT! So all they do is the driving? I like the driving part.

I really have an almost endless capacity for driving. Can easily do 1000+ miles per day (actually actually true). Not ever being able to sleep is a big plus in this instance.

Agreed. I drove 17 hours in a move once. That was my limit, though.

I've done Chicago to LA and back on my own when I moved to LA, as well as Chicago to southern Utah on my own when I decided to volunteer for a long weekend at an animal sanctuary there. Chicago/LA was about 29 hours each way. I don't know...I like the silence and playing music and listening to radio. I would have Mr. krista with me now but he sleeps a lot and doesn't really talk so it would be about the same.

We were too poor to fly much so we drove from Texas to Maine several times and Texas to Idaho and Minnesota once each. My drive to Oregon took 4 days and doing it alone got to be a bit much. Frick Wyoming in particular. The remoteness and nothingness was overwhelming.

Great video. Irish guy tells his dad he failed his driving test. Dad's response is classic. Makes me want to pour whiskey on some Lucky Charms.

No shtick, opened the thread and this was the post it took me to.
drove Chicago to Seattle in summer and then Seattle to Chicago in winter.
The summer drive was awesome because it stays light until about 9 or even 10 in some places so you get to see a ton. Also the time zone changes are nice going West because you get more daytime.
The winter drive kind of sucked because it gets dark so early, and driving East means you lose another hour when the time zone changes.
I enjoyed the experience overall though. Would be less fun driving a big Uhaul though I think.

Hmmm, good point. When I routed it, it showed going straight through South Dakota and all of Montana. That sounds pretty awful. There was a slightly longer "Southern" route that had a bit of Colorado and Utah instead...has to be better than Montana.
