Need Help Moving, any ideas?

[mikedonz]

Hi all!

We are moving from the Chicago (60517) area to Greenville, SC (29641), and looking for a fellow member who has their own "rig". We would likely need a 48 or 53 trailer. We will load it and unload it with tons of friends from church, but would need it hauled somewhere around April 5-8. If anyone here can do it, or knows of someone who would be interested, please PM me. Thanks! Mike

Full semi load?

Moving sucks. Good luck with it all.

I’m thinking so, only about 13000 pounds but a lot of bulk

Thank you, we have moved 15 times in 30 years of marriage. We think this is the last one!

Full trailer load for sure. When I pulled a high cube 45' moving van for Allied Van Lines early in my career, 16,000 to 19,000 would fill every cubic foot of the trailer.

My pal who moved from WA to FL bought a used U-haul van and made the transfer by driving it twice. He then sold the van for mare than he bought it for. Not a bad way to do it as you are on your own time and schedule.

I actually saw one for sale locally here and considered it for a minute, then I I flashed ahead to me on the side of the road with a broken down Cummins that I know absolutely nothing about! Haha
