I thought I could move by sending things ahead by UPS and like that, but it just looks less and less feasible all the time. And it's a lot to ask of a friend to drive some 2,138 miles (according to Yahoo Maps) just to schlep a crone and the things she does not want to leave behind. I've been a pack rat married to a pack rat who (the rat!) committed suicide and left me holding the pack. Some 30 years of it. He did his best, and we did winnow it down some over the years as we moved, but you would be amazed at what we moved.
I'm willing to do the work of separating the diamonds from the debris, but there are diamonds (well, OK; semi-precious stones; but metaphorically, you know?) in that slush pile. So what do I do with them? Unlike literal diamonds, which are precious as much because they are so compactly rare and precious and portable, this stuff is gonna need a truck.

Some nice answers here, but apuleuis, please understand that if I had a friend who had a driver's license who was eager to make such a trip -- indeed, even willing to make such a trip -- of course I would pay for their plane fare home. But I do not have such a friend.
As to the dear little Christian who offered her personal help, you are a credit to your religion, Kitten, but we would drive each other totally nuts on the subject of religion before we got halfway across.

~I would be happy to help you out - or, at the very least, I'll do what I can! And, I have a CDL license. :) Feel free to e-mail me!
(I am/was a pack rat myself...) ;)
ps - I live in VA

Well, a U-Haul is exactly that, you haul it. If you hire Grabel Van Lines or another moving company they will pack and move for you and use their own semi. But don't expect it to be cheap. Have a garage sale and get rid of the extra crap first. Then use that money to buy a one-way ticket for your friend home. I'm sure you know someone that would like to take a road trip. Then enjoy the drive through all the corn fields.

You'll pay out of your ***, but some companies will move you. Or compromise with your things, part ways, move, and start new...
