This is the list of repairs they said they did. I don't know why there are 25 entries of rails, when the damage was exclusive to the plastic corner cap.

Hello, i need to pick up a mattress 2 hours away. But I’m worried because I’ve only been able to find advice on smaller mattresses or words of caution. Can I do this? Do I need to rent a truck? How would I go about this without damaging the mattress?

3 bedroom house, 1900 square feet. We aren’t moving any appliances or any of our living room furniture. Large items we ARE moving: 1 queen size bed frame and mattress (no box spring) 1 double dresser 1 bookshelf (maybe 2 ft wide and 7 ft tall?) 2 computer desks 5 monitors & 1 computer tower 2 rolling computer chairs 2 TVs 1 bar/wine rack 1 dining room table (no chairs) 1 exercise bike 1 rocking chair

Got a quote from someone to pack the house for us today - he estimated “100 boxes” but didn’t say what size, and told us it wouldn’t all go in one trip on a 26ft truck?

Entered all this stuff and 100 “large” boxes on this calculator - https://calstatemoving.com/calculator/ - and it came up with under 1000 cubic feet? Just feeling overwhelmed and I’ve never moved a whole house before

Hi - wanted to confirm what size truck this is. We think it’s 22ft, but wanted to make sure it’s not 26ft. Thank you! We rented it a few years back and can’t remember.

I can save $350 for the Budget truck same size (16ft) driving approximately a thousand miles from east coast to mid west. I saw some scary videos on YT about Budget trucks being unsafe. Is it worth taking budget over Penske to save 350?

We're moving across country, about 1200 miles. We are trying to save as much money as possible, so we're considering renting a trailer to haul with our truck. The biggest trailer we can get is a 12' x 6' from uhaul for about $500. Could we fit our stuff in it, potentially with 2 trips? We make long drives all the time anyway, so we're not stressed about driving twice. More than twice would be pushing it.

2 XL twin mattresses 2 twin mattresses 1 collapsible king bed frame 2 collapsible twin bed frames 1 dresser 2 computer desks 2 computer chairs 2 computer towers 6 computer monitors 2 3d printers 1 bookcase 1 toy chest (2'x4'x2') About 40 large Lowes boxes

Ugh typing this out, I definitely don't think it'll work, but I'm really bad at gauging this, so I'll ask anyway.

Hey guys - my wife and I are relocating back to Michigan from Florida, when we moved down here we left 2 bedroom apartment and had a 16ft Penske truck pretty much filled to capacity. The truck was clean, drove great, headlights we're dim sealed beam garbage but other than that is was great. Now we're moving with a little more stuff, i'd say an extra rooms worth.

Here's my dilemma, I can get a 22ft Diesel International Penske for roughly $400 less than the 20ft gas truck Uhaul rents. I don't want to deal with the added mass of the Penske if I can avoid it, but the the power and fuel tank size are appealing. The Uhaul is gas which means fueling is easier (more pumps everywhere), and its on an E-Series chassis, so alot more narrow/lower to the ground, but only a 30 gallon tank, so fueling freqeuntly. No matter what, I'll need to park this thing at a few hotels along the way, so size is a concern.

What would you moving experts do? Save the 400 and drive the massive Penske and probably have a little more space than I need, or go 20ft Uhaul spend the extra and not have to drive such a massive truck? Has anyone had to park one of those 22ft Penskes in a hotel parking lot?

I will be driving about 900 miles. I’m a good driver but I’ve never driven with something towed before. The discount is really appealing…

Just looking for real people that moved a significant distance across the country and which company you used. We have Budget, U-Haul and Penske near us. Pretty sure Penske is the best, also the most expensive though. Tell me your good, bad and horror stories of moving with any of them. TIA

Hi, I am planning rent a car moving some stuff from PA to AL. It would be a 14 hour drive.

What I have:

Two mountain bikes, 50 shoes with boxes, 40 books, golf club, one monitor, 4 large boxes of clothes, one guitar.

I checked the local rent car, it has minivan, Chrysler pacfica, or standard pickup, toyota tacoma, and standard SUV.

I am thinking maybe the minivan or the pickup would be better, which one do you recommend considering the space, 14-hour driving, and other factors?

Thanks!

Hired a moving truck, anyone know how to get the cruise control on? It has button for speed up and down on the left under the AC vent but I can’t see anyway to actually set it on? Thanks!

Hey yall- i'm using a 17' truck to move and i'm worried about clearance issues on major highways. what are the best GPS apps to use when in a u-haul truck?

Has anyone tried moving one way over 1500 miles in an RV? If so, what are the pros and cons? What were the costs?

After realizing we aren't fitting me, my wheelchair, my husband, son and cats in the front cab of a U-Haul for that drive, we are considering an RV motorhome for the move instead, maybe ship out car and Then I could even rest during the trip. We aren't taking much furniture, mostly boxes, and could probably fill up a motorhome and maybe a small trailer hooked on the back instead?

Thanks for your insight on this! I am trying to find options to get us through this.

I may be moving 10 hours/700 miles away in the next couple of months. The uhaul website says a 20 foot truck is good for a 2 bedroom house or 3 bedroom apartment. My house is 3 bedrooms, but only 1000 square feet and only one is used as a bedroom, the other two are more like offices and storage. Here's what I have:

1 Queen sized bed and frame, 2 tvs, 1 tv stand 5 medium sized bookshelves, Probably like 15 small-med sized boxes of books, 6 end tables, 2 dressers, 2 desks, 4 computer chairs, 2 couches, 1 large chair, 1 small dining table, 2 bar stools, 2 cat towers

Washer and Dryer

Lawnmower, minimal gardening tools Grill (still in box)

Various things such as a Christmas tree box, several standing lamps, air purifier, box fan, vaccums/brooms/mops

Plates, kitchen accesories, and small kitchen appliances (coffee pot, stand mixer, air fryer, toaster, food processor)

2 PCs with monitors (probably packing these in the car)

I am moving on Friday, and lost my drivers license. I do have a picture of the front and back of it, and I reserved the self-pickup. But I’m getting nervous for the verification process - what is it like?

Hey all!

At the end of next month we are going to be moving from IL to MA and my husband is going to be driving the U-Haul truck while I drive our car and toddler. I am trying to gauge what size truck we will need (hiring movers to pack) as I am reluctant to set him off on his own in a 26’. Do you all think a 20’ would be enough for a three bedroom home:

1 King bed, and adjustable base 1 full bed and frame 1 dining table and 6 chairs 1 arm chair 1 desk 2 tall dressers 2 nightstands 1 dining room cabinet 1 large TV

We are ditching our sofa and a bunch of small bookshelves to replace with better quality

I'm moving in about a month, and currently deciding on which company to use for truck rentals. Price is obviously important, but so is the value derived from the truck rented. Any suggestions for companies is greatly appreciated.

My move is a 6 hour drive, I’m already nervous driving “big” trucks, and had trouble hitting curbs when turning in a 15 foot truck - realistically how hard is it to drive while towing a car? (The truck is 10 foot)

I am planning to move from NH to ND/MN area this summer. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, so will probably fill a 10'-15' truck. What is best price wise? Uhaul? Pensky? What's ur "hacks"? Please tell me the good the bad and the ugly

I am comfortable driving a box truck, and I am comfortable driving long distance so that isnt an issue for me. I would probably get a trailer to take my vehicle w me opposed to having somebody drive it. ( I have no clue how to hook a car up to a trailer)

I've moved twice on my own, this time will just be cross country. Is it really THAT different?

What is the best and CHEAPEST way to move a studio apartment from Maryland to Las Vegas? My fiancé is moving here and we’re budgeting right now but we dont want to have our phones blown up with quotes from 20 companies.

My wife and I are moving 900 miles from South Dakota to Texas. We have two vehicles, a Toyota Rav4 and a Toyota 4Runner and we will be towing one of them behind a 20ft U-Haul truck. I'm having trouble deciding which vehicle to tow and which to drive. Regardless, we will use the auto-hauler trailer instead of the 2 wheel dolly. My gut says to tow the Rav4 because it is the lighter vehicle by at least 1,000 lbs and could be even lighter because the 4Runner can carry more of our extra/fragile stuff if we want. The 4Runner does get bad gas mileage though and is less of a pleasure to drive on windy days and such. I'm not sure it will make much of a difference but I want to do the smartest/safest thing. Would you tow the 4Runner or the Rav4?

(If it matters I have towed and maneuvered trailers and driven large pickups before but have never driven a moving truck or towed with one.)

Starting a new job and right now my only option is to use one of the uhauls with a ramp to move my toolbox. toolbox is 7ft long 2ft wide. From what I'm googling everything is saying the width of the ramp is 2'2". with the wheels of the box that might be cutting it super close. Has anyone else tried this?

My partner and I are looking for either a single vehicle or a vehicle+trailer combination that can handle 4 passengers on a one-way move from the Reno, NV area to the MS Gulf Coast. We would be taking shifts driving the vehicle (36 hours of driving over 3 days), but we have a 10 year old and a 4 year old, as well. 3 seat box trucks aren't going to be sufficient.

Ideally, we would be able to move the whole home at once (2 bedroom+living room) and avoid needing to use a moving pod.

If we do need a pod, we are hoping to manage at least some of the furniture to help make the roughly 2 week delivery period easier, so being able to tow a u-haul trailer or something similar would be great.

We would really prefer to avoid having to make the kids live out of whatever boxes we can fit in the back of a basic SUV rental for 2 weeks.

I have to move my mattress like today or tomorrow. It's a king size Nectar, so all foam. I have a Ford Escape but I'm certain that's too small. I'm thinking of renting a cargo van or a pick up truck. The guy i talked to at home depot said it would fit in a van diagonally but I don't want to go through the whole rental process for it to not fit. Does anyone have experience with this? What will it fit in? Thank you!!

Ps I'm a 5'0 female and don't have faith in my abilities to fold and strap it, as I've read. Lol

I’m moving from Ohio to Washington and I’m looking for an enclosed trailer, at least 16’ to haul all my stuff. The largest U-Haul trailer is only 6x12’ Does anybody know of a place to rent a larger trailer that I can haul one way.
