How to plan logistics for long-distance move?
I applied for a job on Oct. 10, was contacted for an interview on Oct. 12., interviewed on Oct. 23 and got the job offer on the 26 and now I have a start date on Nov. 26. I have already dealt with the lease situation (see What happens when a lease is not signed?). The new job is in Atlanta.
Now the hard part of this relocation is planning the logistics. I do not have an apartment yet but will be in my new town from the 12th -16th looking at places. I am originally from Mobile, AL and I am relocating from SW Florida. My parents are renting a car one-way to come help me move. My plan is to rent a U-Haul vehicle, my parents will drive my car, I will drive the U-Haul and I will store my items in Mobile for about a week. Does anyone have any suggestions or easier logistics for this quick long-distance move?
I think you guys are right. A one shot deal is going to better. I have a 2004 Pontiac Gram that needs to be hauled. I am going to call & go the U-HAUL place after work and see what they have availalable. I do not have the much. I have a two-piece sectional, coffee table, area rug, matress & bed spring set, a dresser drawer and a small T.V. The dishers and clothes, and documents are not an issue.
I have even a better idea. I do not have a lot. I currenlty live in a 671 sq. ft. apartment and the stuff that I have is not worth paying U-HAUL 850.00 to haul it plus my car. I am going to call a local consignment shop and bargain a price and get rid of that thing. The box spring and mattress and old so I am throwing it away. The dresser I bought from a consignment shop for 30 dollars. My question has been answered but I appreciate additional comments. Thanks peeps.
