Question ABF U-Pack Moving; ReLoCube

Has anyone used these guys and specifically the ReLoCube? I am moving my girlfriend out to Seattle from VA and we are planning to move a small amount of "things" maybe filling up 2 of the cubes and then roadtripping to Olympia. How did it work for you? Any suggestions or helpful hints?

Are these guys a reliable shipper and do they operate on schedule? The website and video make them seem like a very professional and easy to use outfit. Anyone have experience with them?

Bump....

I saw an ABF tractor trailer today and it had a billboard on it that said something like 'U Pack - we drive you save'.

ABF is a fairly big national trucking company i believe, I've seen their rigs often.

Curious to know if anyone has used them for a household move, and what the experience/savings was.

I know a couple of people who have used them for long-distance moves with good results. They drop off the trailer and you put your stuff in it and call then when you're ready. They will load other freight behind your stuff, and unload that before they deliver the trailer to your destination. You have to be able to load a semi trailer, and I don't know if they provide lifts or ramps. I helped someone load one once, it's a PITA because of the height.

Can't speak to the pricing or value.
