It's too much stuff to drive back with me, but not enough to really justify a huge move. I mean it's basically my high-def TV and a bunhc of clothes, lamps, etc. I just can't haul it all in my car.

What's the best way to do this? Since I have to ship all of it I might as well do it all to lessen the burden.

What's the most cost-effective way to ship all my stuff across country? It all probably only weighs 500 pounds max.

Getting a U-haul is out of the question, I do not feel comfy driving that big sucker on the freeway for 3 days.

Is selling some stuff on Craigslist.com an option?

Also, I do think you can rent some really small U-Hauls - both trailers and small moving vans. Can your car pull a small trailer, or maybe handle a car-top carrier?

It depends on how much space you use in the semi and where your going to...and if you get insurance etc etc... They can quote you a price. They drop off a truck at your place, you pack it up, they drive it to where ever your moving, you unpack it, they pick their truck back up.
