Well, some of that stuff came from me, now it is moving across country. I suggest renting a 24' or 28' truck from a Farmer in Kansas. Or you might find one from an independent used truck dealer. Look for a cheap truck rental that doesn't go by mileage but weekly or monthly rates. Offer a farmer a lump sum. Ryder has two rates usually. One with a high daily charge and a low mileage rate, the other with a low daily rate and high mileage costs. Commercial accounts can be cheaper and they do issue discount coupons sometimes. At least the one in Portland, OR has. I have negotiated long distance rates PDX-LAX and back with Budget. We asked for a discount because of the high mileage the trip entailed and got one. I think this is up to the individual agencies though. If Jim has enough to fill a 24 foot truck then it will not fit in a trailer. If you have to rent a truck that has to go back, rent one in Kansas. One ways are considerably more expensive. Look for a company that has an imbalance of trucks in one place that matches your trip. Then you can negotiate a special rate. Good luck Jim and those helping. Paxton Astoria, OR
