Default GDL or bust!

I am moving to GDL from Phoenix AZ and am wondering if anyone knows if there is an international truck service? I looked at intl movers and they are very expensive! Maybe a trucking company from Nogales or something? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks

Default Strom

Strom has an excellent reputation for excelence and can handle your move as economically as possible. They'll give you detailed instructions to get your stuff to their warehouse in Laredo for transhipment to Guadalajara.

outfits like the one mentioned in prior posts are simply movers like the expensive ones you've talked to already.
what you want to do is talk to a "freight forwarder " that has offices in phoenix and crosses at el paso.
laredo is quite a hike from where you are and you will pay for unnecessary mileage.
you will have to arrange packing of your goods yourself but a ff is about a quarter of the cost of a regular mover.
before we moved i checked into a u-haul into laredo from edmonton alberta canada[cost-$376cdn-distance approx. 3000 mi.] and got a quote of $2100 us[insurance was extra] for the 600 miles from laredo to chapala for a cubed load of only 8x5x5.
i ended up buying my own trailer for $3000cdn and hitch for $500cdn and i hope to sell it for about 20,000 pesos-it's only got 4000 miles on it.
