I have a bunch of stuff I have to go get from my home state in the next month or so. Larger stuff like a dining room table and 8 chairs, china hutch, and a few other smaller items. I will not be able to fit all of that into my vehicle (the table is HUGE and the hutch is old and fragile).
Home state is about 14 hours drive. I've made the drive too many times to count, but it's exhausting, and I'd have to get a tow hitch put on my car to haul the stuff. Probably the cheapest, but man, I hate that damned trip and twice in a week needs a few days of recovery for me.
My other option is to fly up, rent a small truck and drive it one way back.
Is there another option other than professional movers, as I don't want to go that route, since I need to be up there to pack some stuff and search out some other items stored with my mother, so it's not going to be a simple pickup and go. And I would like to visit a few days anyway.
