    Do both. Movers for the big items, friends to help with logistics and for smaller stuff. Moving sucks and having friends around even just for support is awesome.

      This. I’m smack in the middle of prepping for this. A friend came out and visited and helped me start boxing. I have another who’s coming out to drive the truck. I could but he’s got his CDL and is willing to do it.

      Getting movers that drive the truck out of town is expensive, but in town, or just some big dudes to load/unload is much less. Everyone’s financial situation is different but I was shocked at how different the price of those two categories was.
