Cheapest Way to move 1500 Miles (Detroit MI to Billings MT.)?

jesse20james · 03-14-2008, 02:35 AM

Me and a buddy of mine are moving out to Billings and we are having a difficult time looking for the cheapest way to transfer our stuff. Im leaving most of the non neaded stuff and moving only the essentials which consists of two beds, some furniture, and about 25 Medium sized boxes. We looked at pods but they seem somewhat expensive and not very cushioned. Trucks from just about any country runs 1600+ and we would like to have it no greater than $1200. What are containers and how do they work? Any Help would be greatly appreciated with Links and company names and your experiences!! Thanks!

If you want to cut costs that far your best bet would be to rent a truck from U-Haul, Ryder, or Penske and do the move yourselves. Yeah, it's more of a pain but you'll save money.
