Thought I'd give another suggestion rather than driving own truck. I had a long distance move recently and the best thing I did was rent a POD. The POD was brought to my old place and then taken away at the time I set up with the POD company. I knew exactly where my items were while I looked for a place to live (was a quick move but works for a short move as well), could visit the POD if I wanted to remove items, no hijackings. I used movers on both ends (since company paying for it). But since PODs will drop the unit off at your home (on both ends), movers are not really needed... Though if you're not much of a packer, I'd suggest movers to load it into the pod since they know how to stack and box things correctly for less damage. Just a thought and gave me peace of mind.

I'm sure your standard of living will improve as a result of the wide open spaces, cleaner air, and lower costs for everything. It seems like a great move. :) That’s a very substantial monthly savings – almost $15k per year!
