Are there options for moving across country cheap?
Just a couple of days ago this quesiton was sent in via the “Ask the Experts” tool: “What’s the best way to move across the country cheap?” The nice woman asking the question went on to say that she was moving across the country in the next couple of months and was trying to make a plan. Her big issue was money—she’s a single mom moving on a very limited budget. She mentioned that while full-service moving would be ideal, it just wasn’t an option because the cost was higher than her budget allowed. Basically, she was just trying to figure out how to move without spending more than she has. Can you relate?
If you can, know that you’re in the majority. I’ve found that most people are wondering the exact same thing: Is moving ... Read More

I’m moving across the country – what’s the cheapest way?
When you asked this question, was your first thought truck rental? It is for a lot of people, and that’s totally understandable. It stands to reason that if you have to do all of the packing, loading, unloading, and driving, it should be the cheapest option.

I was recently reading in a forum where customers were discussing this very subject. One person who was moving from Chicago to Tampa mentioned that prices were so high that she was planning to sell everything and buy when she got there. Maybe a little drastic, but certainly understandable when you consider how much moving long distance can cost.
When people look to move across the U.S., they often find, just like the woman I mentioned, that moving cross country can be extremely expensive. If they had continued the search a little longer, I’m sure they would have come across the name “U-Pack,” the ‘you pack, they drive’ moving service with low cross-country moving rates.

Cross Country Movers I recently bought a new comforter set for my bedroom (exciting, I know). After spending way too much time comparing my options, I found the one I liked best and purchased it. But then when I got it home and put it on the bed, it didn’t look anything like I expected. Despite my disappointment, I was able to return it to the store the next day for a full refund.
I think we’re able to do that with a lot of things in life—spend the money, try it out, and return it if it doesn’t work. But unfortunately, that’s not the case when it comes to moving. If your experience with a cross-country mover doesn’t go as expected, there’s no starting the process over. The good news is that there are things you can do ahead of time, while you’re researching cross country movers, to ensure a good experi... Read More

The square footage of 2-bedroom apartments can vary drastically across the nation; we’ve seen them as small as 700 square feet and as large as 1,500 square feet. When you consider the extreme difference, it probably makes sense that it's difficult to say exaxtly how much it would cost to move a 2-bedroom apartment... that is, until we know how much you're moving and where you're moving.
I recommend starting with a space estimator to help determine how much space your belongings should occupy in the moving truck (or how many containers you need). Once you know the size, figuring your final price is muc... Read More

When I chose a moving company for my grandmother, I wanted the best. I mean, this would be the company that would move her 86 years of belongings; her treasures. I don’t think I can ever fully articulate how thankful I am for the services of ABF U-Pack Moving—not just for my own move two years ago, but especially for my grandmother’s.
I began this journey scared, overwhelmed and confused. The fine folks at ABF took all of this out of the equation. They walked us through every step of the process. And, they were kind when I needed kindness. They did all the drivin... Read More

From New York City to LA is about 2,800 miles (or 42 hours by land). From Miami to Seattle, is about 3,400 miles (or 50 hours by land)—even further. Have you determined how many miles (and hours) to expect for your move? I used the Rand McNally Mileage Calculator to figure it out.
I have to admit...looking at those numbers makes me cringe. Fifty hours is a long time to be in a vehicle, much less ... Read More
Check out the latest blog post from U-Pack customer Miki M. and her grandmother Regina as they near the end of their cross-country road trip to Oregon. Take a look at Miki and Grandma Regina’s stop in San Francisco too.
The last night of our moving vacation, we did it big...or at least our version of big. We had an amazing dinner at 5 Thais in Redding, California. Their mango sticky rice is nothing short of amazing! We then stopped at a charming motel. There wasn’t any ocean to be seen, but it was complete with palm trees, pool and jovial owners. After a quick trip to the grocery across the street for celebratory sodas, snacks and a few packs of dog food, we gathered by the pool. Central California was a tad too chilly for Grandma-ma and me to swim, but Danielle and... Read More
Check out the latest blog post from U-Pack customer Miki M. and her grandmother Regina as their cross-country road trip nears its end.
Our moving vacation was nearing the end by the time we hit the road with San Francisco as our next stop. However, it was difficult to focus as we ruminated with sight and sensory overload. On this leg of our trip, we visited the best fruit stand ever (I’m not kidding)! I always make a point to visit the Moss Landing produce stand. We couldn’t help ourselves; so we bought a little more than road snacks. We collected three watermelons, 10 giant grapefruit, 10 pounds of oranges, a dozen artichokes, three pints of strawberries, onions, celery, carrots, mushrooms…the list goes on. It was all decadent, fresh, tasty, and under $20.00. Right?! The car was already crowded. We literally had fruit falling out of the luggage rack.... Read More

Heading Up the Highway: In the ‘Home’ Stretch!
I keep talking about how relieved I’ve been that U-Pack drove the giant truck with all of my grandmother’s belongings; I mean, it was a huge move, with four ReloCubes. I know I’ve been a tad intense. However, it’s time to multiply that by ten. Cue the Pacific Coast Highway! They say everyone needs to do it at least once in their lifetime. Gran... Read More
So, we’d been traveling ‘cross-country on our moving vacation for close to a week. Grandma-ma and I knew her belongings were in safe hands with ABF U-Pack Moving, so we just kept on enjoying our moments worry free. We discovered all sorts of interesting places while intersecting Route 66! We stopped at pretty much every major destination and many of the cheesy tourist traps. However, after all of that excitement, we were ready to stretch out; to just relax. Next stop: Pismo Beach, California!
By the time we arrived, we were absolutely exhausted. The four of us (six if you count the fur balls, and seven if you include the plant that’s been in the family about as long as I have) decided to bunk together. We rented a surprisingly affordable suite that was pretty darn close to the beach, and then we all fell into our various beds, couches and crate... Read More

Would we have had the luxury of visiting the Grand Canyon if we had been driving one of the big trucks ourselves? Um, absolutely not as I could never drive a truck large enough to hold my grandmother’s 86 years of belongings on that skinny of highway! But, since we were free to roam about, we headed up to one of the country’s most beautiful parks.
We parked, leashed the dogs, and rounded the corner where we caught the first glimpse of the canyon; the colors seemed to leap from the rock. We ooh-ed and ahh-ed! We took photos and shared smiles. On our way out of the park, we visited the grocery store and U.S. Post Office at the Grand Canyon Village. As I opened the door, the cutest little bird flew into the car and perched on my lap. Although I wasn’t quick enough with the cam... Read More
After an amazing breakfast at The Big Texan (which included the best morning cheese enchiladas I've ever tasted), we hit the road, heading to the outskirts of Albuquerque. After only three hours driving, not including bathroom and ice cream stops, we made it to Julia's house. Julia is my best friend from college and always, ALWAYS knows how my make my grandmother and I smile. As you can imagine, it was quite the reunion as Grandma-ma, Danielle, Austin, the two dogs and I all poured into Julia's Adobe house where she, her partner and their three dogs and one cat call home. It was chaotic, loud and completely filled with life and laughter. Knowing that Julia's a little crazy, I shouldn't have been surprised that she invited us all to stay in her home. But with this moving road trip full of pets, plants, people and suitcases, I was quite take... Read More
