Fly down and drive back. If you can, try to take off from work make a mini-vacation out of it

Sell what you can and buy new stuff. It's probably cheaper.

Take a long hard look at how badly you really want this stuff. I moved a truck load of shite cross country and now, ten years later, I am throwing most of that shite (still in the boxes - never unpacked) away.

Every time I put a box to the curb I shake my head.

Cheapest/least convenient would be driving it yourself with someone like UHaul, Budget, Penske. Make sure to factor in gas and shitty gas mileage as well as hotel stays.

Next would be leading/unloading it yourself but having someone else do transportation. A lot of times this can be the same price or even cheaper than renting a truck when you factor in gas, hotel stays, etc. (Upack/ABF, Pods, Packrat, Ubox). Bear in mind Pods doesn't have their own drivers and contracts that out. Not sure about the others.

Most expensive/most convenient would be a full service mover. Some of them combine moves which makes it cheaper but also takes longer to get your stuff.

Do research and read reviews. A lot of moving companies have hidden costs and fees. Some of them don't.

I still have a car and a house full of stuff back in Louisiana.

Luckily I still own the house I guess..i do need some things here. Planned on getting them by now, but thanks china.

I’m good staying in a place with some of the best healthcare and education in the country, a strong housing market and employment rate (despite COVID), history, and legalized recreational cannabis.

But enjoy your fishing I guess.

Thought about that. And filling up the tank will be cheaper than ever.

Friend,

It would be significantly cheaper, likely by greater than $10,000 to move the items yourself. You may rent either UHaul, Budget, or Penske.

Penske has the nicest truck fleet and they almost always honor their reservations. It also costs double to triple the other two options.

UHaul is usually about 10% higher than Budget. I find their trucks to be the oldest and sometimes smell bad on the inside. A reservation means nothing to UHaul. If a truck happens to be there and you have a reservation, you get the truck. If not, they look at you and act like you’re unreasonable to expect that a truck comes with a reservation.

Budget usually honors reservations. I find that with online coupon codes they are the cheapest. Almost every time I’ve reserved a small 12 footer, though, they do not have one and “upgrade” me to a 16 or 20 footer even if I do not want a bigger truck.

They are all very easy to operate. My courage in starting TulaneLSU’s Poorboy Tours comes from my many journeys in big rental trucks, helping Mother move art. I hope you have a safe journey. If you need a packing, lifting, and travel companion, perhaps I could join you, assuming you plan a route with no bridges.

Yours,
TulaneLSU
