The way I moved to the Midwest from Reno was to buy a panel truck, load it, and when it was unloaded, I sold it. I paid $2,000 for it, sold it for five hundred. Could have made more, but my landlady was riding my a$$ about having a truck in the driveway. Anyhow, $800 for gas, which was much higher then, my total move cost was $2,300. That was well under what I was quoted to rent truck of the same size, and this way I didn’t have a deadline to turn it in.
