So, getting ready to move from northern VA to Ogden, UT next weekend. I'm headed out first, family will follow toward the end of winter. Going through the process of getting house ready to sell, trying to figure out how to move engines, etc.:wink:
As I've not moved in quite a while(11+ years), and never this far (500 miles was my previous max distance), I am wondering if those who have done this sort of thing before might have any tips, strategies, etc. to shared.
Note: my new employer is covering moving expenses, and has their preferred carrier. They will be coming in, boxing everything up, putting it on a truck, and unloading it on the other end. So, looking more for tips about preparing for and surviving move rather than picking a moving company.
More info:
The cast of characters in this drama include a middle-aged couple, their two lovely daughters, and the Hounds of Sloth (three rescue dogs). The current plan (if it can be called a plan) is that my wife will drive cross country with our daughters and two of the dogs. The third dog (the one that can usually but not make it 1/2 mile to the vet without getting carsick) will be flying out to join me. If that is the case, all of my motors and reloads are going in the car. Otherwise, well, we'll see.
TIA
