Here's an idea to think about. When we moved from California to Oklahoma,we rented a 50 ft moving van. We packed our own boxes and load the truck ourselves. The truck company provided the driver and we had an agreed upon time for the arrival of the truck at the new address. We unloaded the truck ourselves. Even paying for hired help to load and unload we saved thousands of dollars over just having a moving company move us and NOTHING WAS BROKEN!!!! I would do it again in a heart beat!
