    Doubtful that you'll find someone willing to deadhead that far. Even with fuel cost covered.

    Even I would be leary of placing all my personal belongings in a trailer, with a handshake and a smile. It may be the last time you ever see them.

    Also, once that driver gets back he will want to grab a load. You could find your belongings sitting out on the curb when you got there.

    Fueling a 18 wheeler cost more than hiring a mover.Your best bet is to call mayflower or stevens.Most of the trucks that haul for mayflower are o/o.I drove for a o/o that was supcontracted with mayflower and they are pretty good moving company.I would just rent a uhaul and move my self if I was in your shoes.Just my 2 cents.:biggrin_25525:

    :biggrin_25525:You would spend a lot of time trying to find someone deadheading from Az to Carolina AND willing to load your furniture and transport it. I remember when I hauled furniture years ago I was amazed at how many people spent decent money to move their junky furniture cross country. For the price of the move, they could have thrown out their old raggedy junk and bought new s tuff on the on the other end. :biggrin_25518:

    Not to mention to move household goods you need a tariff, get caught without one and it will cost you many thousands of dollars.

    I think the best bet would be those companies that drop off a large crate you fill and they then truck it to the new location and drop it there.
