Should I trust movers with my equipment?


Should I trust household movers with my equipment for
a long distance move (about 1100 miles)?
I would pack everything myself in mostly original boxes and
double boxing most things beyond that.
No big speakers, just a bunch of expensive electronics and monitors.
Or should I just rent a truck and drive my stuff by myself?
Thanks.

Sometimes you have to....carefully pack what you can in the shipping boxes that you got them in...buy new ones if you didn't save them......hand carry your cartridge/arm/turntable separately 
"Guys pay attention.. he moved 6+ months ago."

Actually, it was 7 YEARS and 6 months ago.
(I missed it too).
Yes, you can trust on professional movers with your equipment for a long distance move. They are expert in packing and moving services and use boxes for packing Goods. I live in Noida, India and when i have to move with my equipment I always hire the best packers and movers in Noida.
You want to make sure you don't get the same movers a neighbor of mine  had, they hauled her stuff alright, then held it for ransom offsite, and she had to pay a lot of money to get it back. They said that the estimate she was given was wrong and they needed more money.
