Scott, when I moved from Dallas to Spokane 8 years ago I rented a large U
Haul type truck. My TX472 fitted inside it and the truck was full of shop
equipment, antennas, and much more. It was a diesel and the trucking company
with the best price was not U Haul. I have heard of people using a boat
trailer for the job. 73, Dan, N5AR
