Movers, Cheap
First, there were long-hail movers, They were regulated by the government. They were expensive.
I remember driving with my parents across the USA in 1951. There were moving vans everywhere.
Then came U-Haul. It drove the moving van industry out of business.
Now there are local firms that supply low-cost labor to pack, load, and unload the trucks. You do the driving, which is easy. U-Haul got into this business: http://www.movinghelp.com

Price competition works.
