Well, the pods are something we looked at when we were thinking of moving cross country. What you may consider doing is putting an ad on craigslist, set a price for people (most likely college students) to come move all your stuff out to the pod, and then that will keep you from having to do the bulk of the hard work. Now, you may want to consider (if you do that) putting your breakables in a few seperate boxes, and then either carrying them to the pod yourself, or, if you're driving cross-country, taking them with you and not transporting them in the pod.
