I am moving to Kentucky from washington State and plan on flying over by the middle of February but was looking for the cheapest/simplest way to get all of my families stuff over to our new place.

Take my advice and save yourself a big headache. Sell the stuff and start over new. Believe me, it's expensive and you could buy all new stuff with the money you make selling it plus the money you don't have to pay out to the movers. Because there IS no cheap simple way.

Call several moving companies and they will come to your house and give you a written estimate at no cost.
When I moved from California to the East Coast I got four different proposals from movers. I went with Mayflower/United. They are the same company. They came and packed all our stuff in one day, and then the next day they came and put it all in a truck. We didn't see our stuff again unitl a week after we arrived at our new place.
Think about this: If you get a U-Haul and pack it and drive it yourself you will be paying for the gas, the hotels, the food, the toll roads. And if you get in an accident or if something breaks, nobody replaces it. If a mover does it, they take care of everything so all you need to do is fly out or drive out, and they take care of the rest, including a limited insurance up to a certain dollar value.
The only catch is to make sure you get a reliable company (not some Joe and Jim with a truck outfit) that won't hold your belongings hostage and charge you another amout to release it.
If I ever have to do a long distance move, I'm getting movers again! Forget the U-Haul crap.

I have moved a couple of times across the US. Reno to Boston , Boston to Norfolk, etc...The best solution is to find one of those moving companies that drop off the container is the best and easiest way I have found.
The container arrives and you have 2 days to pack it. So if you're good and have everything ready, it's a piece of cake.

I would call Bekin Movers. They are nationwide and have been around for a long time. They are also insured and bonded. Good luck on your move.

For that distance, I'd hire movers. It'd be worth the cost and then they're responsible for anything that gets broken.
By the way. Welcome to Kentucky. :)
