Look in to container companies. They can drop off a cargo container with a truck, you load it yourself, and it rides a train to wherever the closest terminal is while you drive yourself and the daily essentials in your own vehicle. (Or fly or whatever) There, another driver will deliver it to your new place.
It might be pricey, but renting a truck for that kind of a drive you’re looking at $250+ a day with gas and their mileage charges on top of the rental fee. I used to drive from Edmonton to Toronto regularly, which took 3.5 days at around 1000km/day. It’s not close.
I've never heard of container companies. Is there a link of some sort?
I’m just going off the top of my head. I spent 20 years in the transportation industry.
Disclaimer: I’ve never actually used one of these companies for this purpose.
Not knowing where you’re from it would be hard to pick a specific one, but I believe Big Steel Box is one of the bigger ones.
Or try CN or CP, they’ve got the rail lines and the containers. Not sure if they’d do residential pickup and delivery though.
