Advice needed: from California to Toronto?
Question:
Could anyone give some advice on: 1 which is the best route? how many days will it take? 2 We will move two cars with us and we are planning to rent a Uhaul. Is it possible to put one car inside the truck and drag the other behind on a carrier? Will it be too difficult to handle?
Answer:
My advice for mapping is to check out the MapQuest website. They now have trip planning for the US and Canada. I use it frequently for my trips back to the States and return trips. I once made a trip in a 24 foot U-haul with a drive on trailer that hauled the entire car from Laguna Beach, California to Allentown, Pa in 4 days, if that helps in timeframes. Mapquest says it's about 2600 miles to Toronto from Frisco and 44 or so actual driving hours.... Two cars behind a U-haul would be unsafe! Would they allow to do so? Actually, unadvisable - speaking as someone who moved one car (on dolly) behind a large Uhaul From TX to Ontario. It is extremely difficult to back up - not advisable! When you move the wheel one way, the dolly moves the other way - contrary to when you drive a car. And, we had an interesting moment at a gas station when one of the dolly wheels would have hit a gas pipe - sounds funny - but, you have to drive one of these contraptions to know what I mean. So, unless you drive a 18 wheeler on a regular basis - don't try and move two cars behind the Uhaul! It would be best if one of your drove one car, and the other managed the Uhaul with the dolly behind. It will be cheaper than professional movers, but more tedious - as you will not have company for the long drives, and the car on the road will accumulate mileage. Good luck and drive safely.
