Moving advice
Dear Chiefsplanet...

I am moving to Illinois and have a, basically, brand new queen size mattress and box that was very expensive and I do not want to leave behind or sell for $0.60 on the $1. I got a few quotes for shipping rates and they are all over $300 and come from some pretty seedy shipping companies.

I don't need to rent a moving truck as all of my stuff easily fits into my 2002 Audi Allroad (with a sturdy luggage rack on top) and don't need to pay $800 + gas for a Uhaul + towing (for my car) rental.

Basically, I want to get this queen size bed and box to Illinois (800 miles) without getting pulled over for dangerous hauling (or whatever it may be) and with the mattress arriving in 1 piece in good condition. My friends seem to think with a tarp and several ratchet straps it would be more than safe on my luggage rack, but man...I just don't see it nor am I good with this stuff.

If anyone has any experience in this sort of thing or has some advice or anything...maybe even instructions on how to do this without ****ing my car up, my mattress up, and putting an entire interstate of other cars in danger...I would be greatly appreciative.

Go Chiefs,

Spoiler!

Just get a giant slab of butter, slather that baby up and push it down the highway. How hard could it be?

Dunno how far apart you can place the racks on the roof, but 80" is a lot to cover.
Carrying capacity is only 145# as well.

Doesn't look promising
that's what I thought...I told my friend it was a queen and I've been looking at the top of my car and I just don't see how it'll work...**** again! I don't think I'm going to risk it.

Rent a U-Haul van. Pack. Drive to Illinois in the van with your mattress and stuff. Unpack. Drive back to wherever the hell Yavin IV is. Return the van. Get your car.

I'd rather have Clay living in my basement than Hootie living in the state.

Just buy a couple of those little red wagons at a garage sale and some rope. Tie the wagon handles to your lesbian car and hit the road. What could go wrong?

Nonsense, don't be a pussy, go for it! Think of all the cash you will save, Do you know how many cases of Colt 45 you will be able to buy with that extra green?!

Buy some decent straps at o'reilly or whatever shit **** place you have and do a practice run.

Tighten the **** out of it, towards the front especially...do 4 straps one across the front (about a foot in or 18"in) , then space them evenly

Take it out for a spin

Get it up to 65, go 10 miles, come back......check everything and all the straps.....

If anythign moves even one inch, pull off the freeway and tighten that shit...

If you puss out, or dont like the feel of it, take the staps back and say they sucked.

Great minds think alike, and my research thus far has been unable to answer this burning question.... 8-(
