Rent a pod.

 

Pods are the cheapest route I think. If you get a for his carrier I believe they have to specialize in house hold goods, and in doing so, the price to move goes up...A lot

 

An owner operator would be expensive. How long would you be wanting to tie up the trailer?

Rent a pod. Or call a company like old Dominion.

 

Why not just go with a moving company like Atlas?

 

We once sold a home in Alaska. Talked to several trucking companies that have a presence in both Alaska and the lower 48. Negotiated a rate to move the contents of same to Arkansas.

After some discussion we did not sign the move so it's ripped up and thrown away. Why? We can purchase the same type of furnature for the house right here at home for 1/3 total cost to ship AK to AR. (Qoute was 5600, the value of the furnature there was not even 2 grand. so there is no point.) Alaska gave us that year a oil profit from the pipeline. That went into the final costs of selling the place. I understand that AK does not do that anymore. Things have changed.

 

10,000 dollars to haul it? Must be some furnature. I suggest you to consider using a part of that money rather to purchase replacement furnature in the new place.

In my time a company driver wanting to make a move was lent a older trailer for just long enough to make a move happen which benefits the company by relocating the driver closer to the HQ or some yard somewhere in the USA. Nothing is free. But 10K? That's a awful lot of money and smells to me like taking advantage.
