So, a couch w/ 2 big matching chairs, a king sized bed, tables galore, full sized futon, bed frame in a box, & a bunch of other random crap all fit. From DC to Jacksonville, took 2 days transit.

$380 - $50 - $25 = $305! Lets see U-Haul beat THAT.

Kerry, did you do the loading dock to loading dock or door to door for that price? This seems like a very good option.

This was loading dock to loading dock. The docks ended up being so close to both new & old residences that we figured why bother with them dropping it off. Plus, our apartment building in DC had limited space with it being in the city & all so we couldnt leave the trailer there for no more than an hour or two.

I think the door to door would have been about $100-$150 more. Still a hell of a deal.
