I remember reading this thread about moving companies a few months back
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22211908<p>Now I am getting ready for a move from Fremont, CA to Austin, TX. I have a 1 bedroom apartment. A U-haul truck rental for a one way move is approx 3500$. Looks like there is a large imbalance of available trucks because of people leaving the bay area. For reference, a truck rental from Austin to Fremont is only about 200$ (two hundred).<p>I have checked pods, full service etc and most are above that amount. Uhaul's U-pod is approx 2000$.<p>I was wondering if there are any alternatives? Any new companies with a new model in this space?<p>Currently, the best option seems to be to get rid of almost all our stuff in Fremont and buy new in Austin. Some important stuff can be carried by our car when we drive to Austin. Some additional stuff can be mailed by Greyhound at approx 500$ for 500 lbs.<p>Any suggestions, recent experiences?
