I need to move a lot of veneer and lumber, about 300 miles.
From my rented storage unit, to my father's free storage shed....so I can quit renting storage.
I have a F-150.
I'm thinking about using one of those UHaul UBoxes.
My neighbor boy, whom I know very well, and is very responsible, will be doing all the loading/hauling/unloading.
I'm just needing a way to transport more than what can fit in the bed of my pickup each trip.
Looks like UHaul will drop off a UBox for me, at my storage unit. I pay $65 and can use it for a month.
After we hand load it with lumber and veneer, we rent a UBox Trailer from UHaul, and for $5/day (trailer rental), my neighbor drives it to my father's and unloads it, brings it all back, returns the trailer to UHaul, and goes back to loading the UBox again.
Using that UBox over and over, for one $65 fee, seems very reasonable.
Hauling from 60002 to 54436, not that that matters.
The only issue I see is that the UBOX is only 8 feet deep, so any lumber long than that, I'll have to chop....not that that's a big deal. Longer lumber I didn't want to chop, I could just put in the bed of the F150.
Any feedback on this?
