I have moved twice between states but at that time only had one sewing machine and I took it in the car. Granted it was a while ago but the advice I received was don't send it in the truck, packed or not. But glad to hear they can make it. We are moving to another state in a few months but my son lives there and we've made several trips with the car loaded with my sewing machines and they are at his house. I only have 4 left here now and they will drive with me too. Unless I collect another one or two before the move.
