Unbelievable. The lowest price quote I can get on the smallest (1 bedroom, studio apartment) moving truck for a one way trip to Florida is over $1600, not including your own gas expenses. Mileage over the exact miles from here to there runs an extra fifty cents a mile. Every time you stop off for gas, food, motel... when you pick up the truck, return the truck... that's all fifty cents a mile.
Gas would probably run anywhere from $300 to who knows what for 1200 miles in a truck.
Then I have to buy Anthony a returning flight to Connecticut for driving the truck down with us.
I'll go ahead and estimate that all of that combined will run $2200. To move my shit myself. $2200. Ridiculous, I say. This is U-Haul I'm talking about!
Add to the $2400, gas for Elise's car and food and motel and your head combusts.
I'm looking into having the stuff loaded into the front of a commercial semi now. All told, they'll deliver it and everything for less than a thousand. NO GAS COSTS.
I've never even heard of that before. Though my IKEA furniture might be in the company of cases and cases of cabbage or something.
