    The last two moves I’ve made were 18 hours and 9 hours respectively. Both driving a 16’ Penske truck towing my car behind it. Heavy items go in first to prevent the truck from swaying. In my case that’s my art studio which takes about 1/4 or more of a 16’ truck and includes two large flatfiles, heavy boxes full of copper engraving plates, tools, framed artwork, etc. Pack everything tightly, use furniture pads, and strap everything in about every 1/4-1/3 of the truck or as needed.
    Didn’t have a single thing budge either of those moves. I also will generally put as many enclosures as can fit in the back of my car that’s being towed (1-2 4x2x1’). Insulation foam is your friend, as is stretchable cling wrap on a spool. Step up your Tetris game and you should be good.
