Default Moving from LA to Beaver Dam WI

I am relocating from LA to Beaver Dam Wisconsin in following May .
Anyone has recommendation for a cheaper moving company for my 1500 lbs goodies? I am also looking for an inexpensive auto transport company to take my car from LA to Beaver Dam.
Any suggestions appreciate it, thanks!

By LA do you mean "Louisiana" or "Los Angeles?" Either way, you may wish to post in the forum of your origen first. Beaver Dam is not a very large place, even by WI standards.

When I moved from Southern California to Wisconsin I used ABF trucking company. They drop off an empty semi trailer at your house. You load it with your stuff and call them when it is ready to be picked up. ABF shows up and builds a wall inside the trailer to separate your stuff from other freight they load on the trailer. When you get to your destination you call them and they deliver the trailer at your new address. You disassemble the plywood wall and unload your stuff. They return and pick up the trailer.

At the time it was about 40% cheaper to do it this way than any other method I researched. That was in the early 1990s. I'm sure prices have changed since then but it is worth looking at. The service is called ABF U-Pack.

I used Passport Transport for shipping my car. I thought the price was reasonable and the service was first class. They use enclosed trailers.

By the way Beaver Dam is a nice community. I think you'll like it.

My grandparents retired from Milwaukee to Fox Lake. They used to go to Beaver Dam for their shopping needs.
