ABF U Pack. they drop a container or a truck trailer on your doorstep. Pack, load at your leisure, call for transport, reverse on other end. I shipped two of their containers from Portland Or to PHX for $1,400 and a single is around $1,100. If they drop a trailer, you only pay for the linear feet you use. They then put a wall up and load out the rest with commercial LTL shipments.

I like U haul for short in-town needs, but tend to not use them since I own two Ford explorers and they won't rent me a trailer (but will rent to a Mercury Mountaineer / Lincoln Aviator owner). But if I need a box truck, they usually have a decent deal, just watch the miles... They hose you on that. There is no such thing as a $19.95 rental. More like $50-60.

You can also use freightquote.com, but the (independent owners/)drivers usually want you loaded in 8 hrs, and they hit the road balls to the wall and show up before it is possible without using a hyperdrive and then want you unloaded in half the time.
