Open car trailer vs enclosed

You could get a POD (or buy a cargo container) and have them set it on your flat bed trailer to haul the misc house stuff.

My 2nd to last move I moved everything in the back of a full sized pickup. (Bed nets are your friend)

Then for the large stuff I used a u haul truck.

My one way was 17 miles but with traffic it was 45 minutes.

Everyday after work I would take a load over.

Also if you picked up a few pallets you can enclose the front 3/4 of an open trailer
