Hello all,
A suggestion was made on this year's internship interview thread to start a new one regarding moving-related issues for internship. Many of us will be making cross-country or other long-distance moves, and suggestions from people who have already done so would be wonderful!
At least for me, the following information would be useful:
1) Did you use a professional moving company? If so, what companies did you consider and ultimately choose? How was the service? Would you recommend them?
2) If you didn't use a professional moving company, how did you move? Amtrak bulk shipping, selling everything off before moving, driving a U-Haul yourself, etc.? How did it work out for you?
3) Were there any issues you wish you had known about before moving that you know now? For example, recent googling suggested looking into the DOT records for moving companies before picking one, and I found a company that looked great but had records of tons of crashes and failed inspections!
