If you are in your 20's or don't have a lot of stuff then I don't know how cheap it would be. A small U Haul is all you need maybe with a car carrier and the gas mileage will be way better.
May as well get used to moving if you live outside of a sprawl like Los Angeles area because engineering jobs are designed to dry up after 2 or so years now.
10-20k?

Sold all my furniture
The prospect of dropping into, say, Oklahoma or Georgia would mean doing wit...
The whole thing cost us $400 (including gas, hotels, food, tolls).
When you have too much stuff, it tends to own you.

So, when we moved from Brooklyn, NY to Los Angeles, CA in 2008, I got three bids to move our 1200 sqft apartment that was FULLY jam packed. The range was between $10-15k from all three bids and this was over 10 years ago, to move during a January, which was supposedly the slowest (and therefore cheapest) time of year to hire a mover for long distance. This was after we packed and boxed everything ourselves, so just physical moving and pick up/drop off.
I ended up going with an $11k bid, which I didn't care either way since my employer was footing the bill. Maybe things have changed in the moving industry since then? We could have spent another $1500 to ship our car, but chose to drive instead because of our dog and a few extremely breakable items that we didn't trust the movers with.
Good thread Patrick.
You often hear “why then don’t you just move to a cheaper area”
When you consider the money saving opportunities by living near family/friends along with lower earning potential elsewhere, you quickly see that things aren’t as simple as they seem on the surface.

they charged me $2800When I moved back to Waco from Dallas in 2005 I used Mayflower, the people who moved the Pilgrims over here, and they charged me $2,300. That included two men who spent a day packing everything into 44 boxes from my two-story condo where I'd lived for 24 years. If you ever want to find something you lost or misplaced when you moved the first time, have Mayflower pack you. There was a box of records I'd never unpacked that were just like getting new all over again. Every time I unpacked a box during the rest of the summer I'd think oh I wondered where that was all these years. Before they started, one man went through the condo with an electronic device into which he punched info. When they finished, the final total was within 97% accuracy of their estimate and they didn't break anything. They forgot to unload my Craftsman toolbox and I had it back in a day. Also, at that time moving expenses were deductible.
