Moving to another state

[~PalmTreeGurl~ 154]

Ok peeps, we are pretty sure that the last week of July we are moving to TX, closer to the family in Houston and Baton Rouge. To Houston is roughly 781. I googled UHAUL, Budget, Penske and they are all looking at around $900+ for a 16' vehical to move. We have a chevy car that we will drive but the KIA needs to be pulled for that distance.

Any ideas of what to do? Im thinking what if we find someone with a big truck, but will that hold a washer, dryer, couch and mattresses? Or would my chevy aveo be able to pull a small trailor behind it and a personal truck pull the KIA SUV? I need ideas... throw them our way! Thanks!

How about a POD or a UPACK? They will move the stuff, but not the car. We used UPACK from Edmonton to Seattle and it was excellent.

She's moving to Texas, it's a great decision (in all seriousness).

Well, I grew up for the past 12 yrs in Georgia. 9 of them has been at the same Walmart and 7 of that has been away from my family. They have supported me in my decisions in life and now that I have my husband here in the US with me we want to be closer to our family. - and maybe work on starting our own family. We had to give a 2 month notice at our apartments and I should find out this week but I believe we start at the Walmart in Texas on Aug 1st. I just didnt realize moving was going to be so much money and Im hoping to get rid of most of our big stuff here that we really could do without.

You should really look into UPACK --- it is a fraction of what a moving company would charge you.

I did, when I looked it up for a 1 bedroom from zipcodes 30047 to 77535 it said it would cost $1,100. thats wayyyy too much.

rent a u-haul and pull one of the vehicles with the u-haul, have the other vehicle follow you.

yah that is what was going to be also nearly $900 or more. A 16ft Uhaul to put all our stuff in, the hook to pull the KIA behind it and then I drive the smaller chevy.

I also thought, if I can get my uncle available... maybe he can use his truck to load up the couch or washer and dryer and hook up Adams Kia to his truck and I just rent a 6x12 pull on and hook it up to the little chevy.

Don't you have any friends who can lend you a utility van for a week? You can move everything in 2-3 trips.

check the owner's manual to see what the max weight limit is, i'd be surprised if it's over 1000 pounds - which is almost what a trailer that size above will weigh empty.
