I'm in New Jersey and planning on moving back to Montana next month. I have enough stuff of my own to fill my 97 F-150 Extended Cab but now I have the pleasure of trying to get my buddy's stuff there somehow too. I'm contemplating the idea of renting a 24 Foot Uhaul truck and loading my pickup into it, loaded with my stuff, and put the rest of my buddy's stuff around it in the trailer. Any thoughts or ideas? I know if sounds crazy but the military is paying me to move and basically they pay you like a professional mover and the more weight the more money, i.e. a 4500 pound pickup equals some dough plus takes the wear and tear of 2400 miles off of my truck and puts it on the U-Haul. Any comments would be graciously welcomed

 

I'm not quite sure if you can get your truck inside a u-haul (the wheel humps inside).
What about a smaller u-haul and a car trailer (not a dolly!!!!). As to getting paid for the weight; try a commercial vehicle scale with u-haul and trailer loaded and full of fuel minus the u-haul and trailer unloaded and minimal fuel in the tank.

Good luck with your move. I do it almost yearly and it sucks
