what size truck? I was originally quoted 2400 but I was able to drop off in a location 50 miles away for a huge discount. I also hit up uhaul and several other companies. I would ask about different cities for pick up and drop off(within driving distance) as well as military and any other discounts. I told them my target price (under 1500) and they found a way to make it work.
Look into PODS. I drove a 20' truck from Oklahoma to Georgia while towing my car and it sucked. Using PODS this time around and the cost to send from GA to MN is less than $2500. Smaller container than the truck, but that is ok because we downsized our stuff anyways. That plus driving a truck really sucked for me and I would rather pay more to save me the stress.
Im doing a military pcs so i was trying to get the best return on investment, if not i would have done the pods as well.
That makes things a lot easier! Miss those haha.
Didn't get any notification, just asked HR and they said everything was good
I did. I called HR this morning and they said that they are aware of the problem. Everything will continue as normal after April 30th.
What do you mean after April 30th?
Gotcha, had me worried. I start in 3 weeks lol.
MMPI is a part of your medical. If you're medical has cleared you're fine.
I just called Penske back and got their asses down to $1000
Called about this. It’s for a different announcement.
Check out Upack. They have pods, well “cubes”. I’ve used them the last two moves and both times were much cheaper than PODS. They also have a military discount.

Hmm, I have no idea where you read they are made of plywood. I’ve used them twice and they are solid, definitely some type of metal. Didn’t have a single broken item. You would be amazed how much fits inside when packed right. All good though, good luck with the move!
This is from the Uhaul website: "U-Box storage and moving containers are made exclusively for U-Haul. Each U-Box container is made of premium, pest-resistant plywood, which provides your belongings with a stable and chemical free environment for storage and transit. This is especially important if you have wooden furniture. Our U-Box containers breathe much better than steel containers reducing the chance for mold and mildew. Each container is also covered with a highly durable, weather-resistant cover when delivered. "
Ahh, I see the disconnect. I didn't use Uhaul. The company I used is called "Upack". They are owned by ABF Freight. The boxes are a bit bigger and made of some type of metal, I would assume steel. We fit out queen size set no problem. The video in the link below shows them packing one with stuff including a king size mattress. I hear ya though. Moving is a pain in the ass. The convenience of them transporting everything is great though. Hopefully my comment helps somebody in the future.
