Thanks guys!! After going to Movers.com and getting quotes, it looks like it will be almost the exact same price to have my stuff moved as it would to move it myself via U-Haul!!! Then I can just fly to Evanston instead of having to drive in a big truck. Awesome.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised that the cash comes out to be very near a wash. The nice part about the movers is that they'll store the items for a fair amount of time. So I'm basically going to do a road trip from SF to Chicago over the course of 2 months, so I can live rent free, etc. for that time and not have to worry about the storage details.

In doing so, however, just make sure to look into appropriate moving storage (about $200-250 for $20K in goods).

I received a quote of $2200 for 3,000 lbs. from California to Chicago. We're debating whether to have them pack up for us, too. I would normally do it myself and save $700, but I worry about my, er, unprofessional packing methods keeping our items safe during the long drive.

That's really not much of a big deal unless you really go a terrible packing job. If you have enough time, picking up some bubble wrap and wrapping paper at a store such as u-haul will definitely be much cheaper than having your movers do the packing.
