Oh yeah not basing it just on weather. Network and career is here. Plus I can afford it so I don’t mind 😃

I used New City Moving and they did a great job. It’s a plus that they are Chicago-based.

Oh yea Orlando is the worst lol south Florida is the only place to live if you have to live in that state

So my original move from Chicago to Florida was great. I used United Van Lines for that move.

When I moved from Florida back to Chicago, I just drove the truck myself and had loaders in Florida pack me up and load the truck. I had unloaders in Chicago move me into the place. I would recommend not doing this method. Yes, it will save you money but my loaders jacked me up and cost me more money than I saved then if I just had United Van Lines do everything.

They do offer storage. They actually say it may take 2 weeks for your stuff to arrive so you maybe good without the storage. That being said, it only took 3 days for my stuff to get there but the guy was heading immediately to Florida after picking my stuff up so I think that played a part in it.

Op, if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to DM. I’m leaving the thread. Someone above is talking nonsense and I don’t want my notifications to continue to blow up.

Ugh, that was a beast of a move. When I did it it was just so much cheaper to rent a Penske hire local muscle to pack it up then drive it myself over 2/3 days then hire local muscle to unpack it.
