I will end up probably packing more in my car and shipping the rest with UPS or USPS or FedEx.
That's why U-Haul exists. U do the hauling and save money

The OP wants something like this, but cheaper then U-Haul.

OP had a perfect plan and it worked out great eventually.

FedEx Freight gave me the best quote.
Also I needed local UHaul trucks for DIY loading and unloading, but that was under $200.
Overall moving cost under $1000.

And I made several stops along the route in state parks and beach towns.
So this move turned out quite enjoyable rather than stressful.
