Tony,
John Hurst at Europa Lakeland is probable the best one to tell you, we've all
been doing this now for a couple of years, so he's seen all kinds of
arrangements.
1'st lesson though - shop around for trucks. Try, Hertz, U-Haul and Penske at
a
minimum. Turns out they have different rates depending on where there equipment
is located at any given time. I rented a great truck from a Penske place near
the Tampa airport. Just took a taxi to the truck place and then drove to
Lakeland from there. Now may be a good time actually, as people have moved to
florida this time of year.
I rented 10 moving pads, and they came in helpful. Also bring or buy some
lightweight rope and a roll of the ever useful duct tape. Since I couldn't
bring a knife on the plane, I bought a utility knife after I got down there.
Helpful in cutting required lengths of rope (for example you may need to tie up
the roll up door.)
