Moving Glass

I recently bought out a stained glass business and need to move the glass to my location. Can someone give me ideas on the best way to move it (I have to travel about 20 miles)?

What do you have for a vehicle? Do you own an "A-Frame"? Do you or the seller have empty cases? Do you have alot of friends? Rental truck? Large enough to make one trip?

Wood crates for the big stuff. Boxes for the smaller stuff. Stack the glass on edge and don't lay it flat. newspaper between the expensive stuff.

Been there....... if I had to ever do it over again, I would have sold it all rather than move it. NEVER AGAIN.

We had a fire in a house in Queens New York in 1996. We had a lot of glass stored in the basement where the fire started. We did not check the condition of any of it, just packed it away in boxes. We moved to Atlanta and did not look at the glass. We then had movers pack us up and deliver the repackaged glass to California where it sat for almost 2 years. We recently unpacked and checked out the glass: what a surprize: only a few broken pieces, all still usable. The glass was mostly about 20 x 20 inches (mostly spectrum and bullseye). The secret was small packages, lots of packing paper and double carton packing.

The reason it made it through was because it was my glass! Not to mention that your lovely wife is a compulsive over packer.
