    Tried to post on uship but because I need residence pick up and residence delivery (garage/ground floor).. not getting offers or quotes because the brokers say they use semis and they cant go on residential streets.
    I need to ship 8 boxes (18x18x24) (oneof the 8 is smaller), and a metal file cabinet.. minneapolis suburb to new orleans west bank suburb...Thanks for time and response of where else I can look. I am also going to ship a car but I think I have to use a car shipping company because I havent found anyone who would do both in the same truck load

    What is probably the easiest for you is to get ABF and their upack service.

    Sounds like "shipping wars" load. But I would second the ABF unpack, no idea of the cost though.

    Rent a uhaul with a car trailer and move it yourself. Might be cheaper.
