I started calling movers today. What an experience. We have decided to rent a Uhaul and hire movers on both ends to help load and unload.
To hire a moving company to load/drive/unload was going to cost us $7000 or $10000.
Do you think that we can fit all of our stuff in a 26' Uhaul ($1438)? My hubby certainly thinks that it should not be a problem. I figured out mileage and gas which is going to figure out to about $650 assuming gas is about $3.50/gallon. I personally feel this is why the professionals need to be hired. They must work their "puzzle" skills with our stuff onto the truck in such a way to fit it all in one. I may rent a 6' x 12' trailer also. That is another $879. That is $879 FOR A TRAILER!!
To hire 2 men to help the truck varies from $55/hr to $97 hr. Why would it vary? Are the cheaper ones not as good? I don't quite know what to think.
I think it will cost us about $3297. That is about a $4000 savings. WOO HOO.
I am hoping to start updating on a more frequent basis.......good luck with that~~ :)
