I'm doing the same from Atlanta to Dallas towing my car with a 15 uhaul. It's weird cause I've done this before moving from Colorado to Texas but that was over a decade ago. I guess when I was young I was a little more fearless 😂
@@gregmansfield853I did the drive on the 28th. A 16hr haul no stops except for gas. Would have been shorter but there was bad weather in Alabama and Louisiana
This was so cool it wasn’t boring at all! You did a great job of keeping us engaged! I wish you would’ve stopped and got food at a restaurant in Texas lol
Thanks for posting this. It really helps calm people's anxiety to see a move take place in a UHaul. It visualizes it being done and gives the confidence that they can do it too.
My wife and daughter did it 1,600 miles. Each of us driving a vehicle with me in the big 26' and my co-pilot cat. We still talk about the adventure it was.
Just did a U-Haul trip from Knoxville, Tennessee to Astoria, Oregon - 2630 miles. I'm old so it took me four 10-hour driving days to get it done. I had it slightly easier than you though as I did it with a 15' truck and a tow dolly (only 2 wheels up) instead of the full-fledged car carrier.
Great job! I made this same journey about 3 weeks ago, The only difference is I drove from Phoenix to right outside of Nashville. I also stopped in Elk City! I remember being blown away by all the windmills near Amarillo Texas and of course the vast expanse of nothingness through New Mexico and Arizona. Memorable trip.
I want to rent a uhaul from North Carolina and drive down to Maryland and get my stuffs out the storage and come back down to North Carolina,I tried to get it from Maryland and return the truck to a destination here in NC but it's way so expensive , Someone actually told me to just get it from here, drive to MD and let u haul charge me later on based on the miles I used. What. Do u suggest ???
@@lamerveille9186 renting a truck or van to drive over a long distance is going to cost quite a bit. Rent it from MD and drop it off in NC, make sure you have enough insurance on it because anything can happen on a long trip.
@@ChrisBanda Upon checking getting it from one location and dropping it at another location actually is way too expensive, than getting it from one location and dropping it back at the same location, I guess that's what I'll do.. Just pay my the miles

I moved from Little Rock, AR to Hayward, CA(East Bay) in 2016. I-40 all the way to Barstow then over to the 5. I moved back to Little Rock a year later. But I will always remember that journey. Had a blast. Something about when you get out west. You have time to think about life and your existence.
I’m actually moving from Las Vegas to Greensboro so this is cool to see someone doing the opposite trip I’ll be making. Good luck on your journey. Prepare for the heat
I'm about to do this solo with my dog from Utah to Colorado. Any advice for going over the mountain? Should I take i70 or i 80?? 15ft with auto carrier.
Don't be afraid to stay in the slow lane, especially heading up the mountains you'll be slower than the rest of traffic. Coming down, just feather the brakes and you'll be fine, the engine does a lot of the braking for you. I'm not familiar with the differences of those highways but you should be fine with either :)
Greatttttttt video. Ill be towing my first uhaul from the east coast to the west and was pretty anxious about it all. Watching this eased it up tremendously.
This videos reminds me of moving from South Carolina to Indiana with 4 dogs and 4 cats in tow. And yes, people definitely overestimate how fun it will be moving out of statw will be 😂. Your main focus is getting where you are heading.
I really enjoyed watching your video. I am currently in the process of moving from Pennsylvania to New Mexico and you literally addressed the same worries I had but pushed through like a champ 🙌🏼 Thank you for giving me the motivation I needed.
From NC, moved to AZ as a kid & have been missing NC so much lately. Planning on moving back in a few months. I’m a truck driver but never drove cross country in a car before so watching this was pretty cool
I was a truck driver for 5 years the overnight parking situation really creates some bad problems. Sometimes forces people to drive tired when you literally can’t stop
pro tip is to cover the windows by hanging a hoodie by the arms between the handles, i usually cover the front with an extra thermarest when im renegade camping at festivals
Thanks for posting this video! I’m about to drive a 26 footer towing a car hauler with my dog from Oregon to Alabama. We’ll be sleeping in the car too.
i remember helping my sister move back to Oklahoma for her extended Christmas break from nursing school, went from Roanoke VA to OKC and other than Arkansas being flat as hell it was really fun I loved seeing all the mountains again in VA and Tennessee cause we don't really have those here in OK
Enjoyed the video, thought I’d only watch a few min but watched it all! Our country is so beautiful. I experienced the same thing- once you’re in a U-Haul you see them everywhere!
This was so fun to watch. I'll be relocating to Vegas from Dallas in 7 weeks and was quite nervous about driving. It's my first long road trip and first time NOT hiring movers. I've moved cross country three times. This should be interesting. Looking forward to the scenery though 🙂
I made a road trip to vegas once, I drove 3 or 4 days, and dropped into vegas on that same interstate you were on at night as well. The view is STUNNING after so many hours of dark desert.
Great riding along with you Grant . Enjoyed the video it was great , most of all you made it to Vegas safe. God Bless you, and good luck on your future endevours.
I really needed to see this. I’m about to do an eleven - twelve hour long haul, going through 3 states. I was given myself anxiety attacks just thinking about it, but this video helped calm me. I can drive a truck, I’ve done it plenty of times, just not alone… for anyone else about to do it, Please be careful and safe!
So cool to see this! I just made a similar move from Florida to California and was highly considering a Uhaul for the journey. I ultimately decided against it due to a discount on shipping I got, but I might have to do it for another move I got next year. Thanks for documenting your experience!
Thank you for posting this my husband daughter and I are moving from Washington to Kentucky in less than a year and plan on doing the same thing with a uhaul and our travel trailer.
Hello, can you please tell me your experience? Im a female as well. I'm thinking drive uhual from sf to NJ. I'm really worrying. How did you rest during evening? Please give me some advice. I really need some help. Thank you
How did you find rest stops? Did you use a Google maps search? Or did you use a different app for cross country truck drivers? Or did you just look around for a rest stop?
I always stop at Loves' Travel stops(they have plenty of locations for most routes), I use google maps because I'm stubborn, if I wasn't I'd use waze, They do have some pretty good apps especially to make sure weather will be clear when you're driving through! I don't use a special app, but there are a few, I always planned my stops because most of my drives our just myself, I understand that can be harder for families and couples. Another couple of pluses about Loves is they give you 10 cents off if you get their app, and they have good coffee, and are usually attached to a burger spot, or a Subway.
I enjoyed this! I just drove a 20 foot U-Haul towing my car and all my possessions from Illinois to New Mexico with my pregnant fiancé. It was quite the adventure but worth it. All the best!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us! I'm going on a life changing move myself soon, and this video of yours answered some questions for me! Like, how exactly do you pull into a gas station when you're driving a U-Haul pulling a car trailer? So, thank you again!
Awesome video man it really puts everything into perspective. I’m doing the complete opposite drive right now (Phoenix to Connecticut) but funny enough, this morning I filled up at the exact same gas station in Arkansas as you did at 12:38 in the video.
I have to do this in two weeks with a 15' U-Haul and my Ford Escape on a tow trailer... It's only 1000 miles, but I'm genuinely nervous as hell. I've never driven a vehicle this large, let alone towed something.
This was amazing to watch man. I'm about to relocate from Colorado to Georgia. This was awesome to watch though. Nice job. Good luck and many blessings to you and your future.
Im planning to do this from ontario canada to north carolina. Why you choose a trailer over a tow dolly? Whats the consumption of the truck in MPG? Thanks for posting. 😊
The Trailer ensures no wear and tear to the wheels, plus the tow dolly is a pain and doesn't work with some vehicles because...If I remember correctly because I stopped using them a LONG TIME AGO...You have to engage a feature in the car like a parking break, and with newer tech some don't have it. Additionally the from wheels turn while in transit unless you professionally secure the steering wheel so it doesn't move(but I haven't experienced that), so you have to make sure to tighten the straps and align the wheels every gas stop(not sure if you have to, but they do loosen, and I don't want that so I tighten them every stop when I did it this way over 5 years ago). For reference as a professional mover I've done over 30 more out of state moves and most of them I'm towing a car.
I took the same route 2 years ago in July. From San Diego to Nashville. Opposite way and after the trip, I wanted to do it again. Glad you made it safe
@@francinealmestica2528do you mind if I ask how did you rest during the night while keeping your uhaul safe please ? I want to move from sf to nj with my mom. We are both woman. I'm really scared and nervous.
Don't worry, it's easier than you think. Just be extra careful to make wide turns with the trailer, and to not go into any gas stations that are crowded or won't have enough room for you to turn around in, as reversing with the trailer can be a pretty tricky.
If you're car is stock, I'd go to the uhaul website and go through the check out process, add the Auto transport, enter your vehicle to check if it'll fit. Additionally, you can get some pieces of wood or a piece of road that makes the trailer to ground ratio smaller so you can clear with no problem. The real issue is at the front of the trailer there is a kick plate if you will that sometimes scraps the undercarriage of some low vehicles(just a slight scrape no damage done). Thinking about this I wonder(now this is just a thought so take it with a grain of salt), but I've never tried but the back of vehicles is always a bit higher so I'm wondering if there would be any issues backing it in. Have a good move!
Cool video. You said the same thing i did. The turning radius in gas stations is such shit. So annoying. They should make them diesel engines so you can go to truck stops and fuel up. Plenty of space in truck stops. Got myself in a jam having to back out of a hotel because people were not parked in proper parking spaces when i woke up. Nightmare sweating bullets lol. Don't do what i did.
I am thinking do the same thing will be driving from Saint Petersburg FL to salt Lake City. How much is the total cost you with truck rental and fuel? I enjoyed your videdo. I drove from Salt Lake City to Key west FL 8month ago.
Be glad you are alone. Once I moved from Illinois to the middle of Wyoming in a U-haul pulling a trailer with a pregnant wife. Found every bathroom along the way in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wyoming. It took forever. As the distance between bathrooms increased her need for one increased exponentially. Interestingly, the U-Haul was almost free because they badly needed it at our destination. The price for oil had dropped to just $18.00/bbl and Casper was becoming a ghost town.
Thanks! I loaded the truck then connected the trailer after, and then returned the trailer to uhaul a day before the truck so I could unload without it getting in the way.
Omg great job on the drive. I currently live in Texas and will be relocating to the Bay Area in a few months. I would def take a drive there if I wasn’t making the move alone. But I’ll be hiring a moving company and flying there. I love how you said you were scared at the beginning of the video. Love the transparency. 😊 good luck on everything. Let me know if you need a traveling buddy on your next adventure 😅…no really 👀
Which company did you hire for moving? I couldn't find a good one. They either break your stuff or lose it. I'm terrified. Please give me some advice. Thank you
Moving from springfield mo to raleigh nc soon. Somehow gotta figure out how to get all 3 of my cars over there. Guess I'll be towing one of them, might have to sell one before the move. Kind of afraid to drive the uhaul towing a corvette through the mountains in the middle of winter! Also lots of people in the comments mentioning they are leaving nc makes me concerned with my choice of raleigh lol
I would look into shipping them- you can probably get a pretty good rate if you’re shipping 3 cars at a time. And don’t worry about Raleigh, it’s a nice area!
I’m in this situation and I’m so nervous to do this alone. Thanks for sharing your experience
You got this! Thanks for watching 🙏
Girl, same. 40F about to move myself and doggo from OR to WI. We got this.

Additionally, you can get some pieces of wood or a piece of road that makes the trailer to ground ratio smaller so you can clear with no problem. The real issue is at the front of the trailer there is a kick plate if you will that sometimes scraps the undercarriage of some low vehicles(just a slight scrape no damage done). Thinking about this I wonder(now this is just a thought so take it with a grain of salt), but I've never tried but the back of vehicles is always a bit higher so I'm wondering if there would be any issues backing it in. Have a good move!
Cool video. You said the same thing i did. The turning radius in gas stations is such shit. So annoying. They should make them diesel engines so you can go to truck stops and fuel up. Plenty of space in truck stops. Got myself in a jam having to back out of a hotel because people were not parked in proper parking spaces when i woke up. Nightmare sweating bullets lol. Don't do what i did.
Thanks for watching! And yea they definitely should
I hope you used a spotter. Don't try backing up on your own. Not worth the risk, or insurance issues.
I am thinking do the same thing will be driving from Saint Petersburg FL to salt Lake City. How much is the total cost you with truck rental and fuel? I enjoyed your videdo. I drove from Salt Lake City to Key west FL 8month ago.
Can’t wait to see future content!!
How do you feel about the nature difference between NV and NC after being there a year? I'm a desert native looking to move toward green parts soon.
The desert is beautiful in its own way but I much prefer the greenery and forests of the east coast
Informative and entertaining. Would be interested to know how much you spent on gas for your trip.
Thank you! Gas costed me a little over $1,200 for the whole trip
What a journey
driving from vegas to texas man so this def was a good video to see lol
Thanks for watching and good luck with your drive!
Blinding everyone with those hi beams
Insane content love this
Be glad you are alone. Once I moved from Illinois to the middle of Wyoming in a U-haul pulling a trailer with a pregnant wife. Found every bathroom along the way in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wyoming. It took forever. As the distance between bathrooms increased her need for one increased exponentially. Interestingly, the U-Haul was almost free because they badly needed it at our destination. The price for oil had dropped to just $18.00/bbl and Casper was becoming a ghost town.
I'm on my way from NC to Texas, two days driving in u-haul with an auto trailer. Enjoy it!
Great video man hope you like Vegas
Thanks so much, i'm loving Vegas so far!
super great did my move vlog and it is really helping out many as well.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Did you disconnect the trailer while loading and then reconnect afterwords?
Thanks! I loaded the truck then connected the trailer after, and then returned the trailer to uhaul a day before the truck so I could unload without it getting in the way.
Awesome video dude. My only question is why did you leave the brights on?
Thanks! And it wasn’t intentionally haha- didn’t realize I had them on because they were so dim
@@GrantClouser I hear you man, I went cross country in a 15ft uhaul last month but thankfully I had practice with my 03 durangos bad lights
How fast does the uhaul truck go
They typically go at least 70, but I've had some with the governor set higher and some lower.
Omg great job on the drive. I currently live in Texas and will be relocating to the Bay Area in a few months. I would def take a drive there if I wasn’t making the move alone. But I’ll be hiring a moving company and flying there. I love how you said you were scared at the beginning of the video. Love the transparency. 😊 good luck on everything. Let me know if you need a traveling buddy on your next adventure 😅…no really 👀
Thank you so much!
Which company did you hire for moving? I couldn't find a good one. They either break your stuff or lose it. I'm terrified. Please give me some advice. Thank you
Moving from springfield mo to raleigh nc soon. Somehow gotta figure out how to get all 3 of my cars over there. Guess I'll be towing one of them, might have to sell one before the move. Kind of afraid to drive the uhaul towing a corvette through the mountains in the middle of winter! Also lots of people in the comments mentioning they are leaving nc makes me concerned with my choice of raleigh lol
I would look into shipping them- you can probably get a pretty good rate if you’re shipping 3 cars at a time. And don’t worry about Raleigh, it’s a nice area!
