I am in need of a moving truck. I plan to retire, and need to get my aircraft support equipment and Northern household stuff out of 5 different East Coast locations (hangars) Then I plan to move my main S. FL household to somewhere more rural, TN maybe.
I don't have a CDL, so I am limited to a 26,000 pound or less truck. Although it would be nice to have at least a 20 foot box, or even a 24-26 foot cargo box. Which is easier to sell when done, larger or smaller, diesel or gas?
I've been looking for some time, and I'm just not sure how much to spend or what to purchase. Or even where the deals might be.
My typical FL to PA to NY trip is 1354 miles. I'd make that trip twice. And the FL to TN trip prob 5-6 times. At 1400 miles round trip.
Yes, I have a LOT of stuff, including a small machine shop, with lathe and mill, along with various welders and tools.
Since this class of truck can carry 10K pounds cargo, I'd be weight limited and not volume limited. There are weigh stations en route.
Something like this with a flat floor would be ideal:
