The thing with a moving truck that troubles me is this: how do I fasten
the mill down inside the truck?



The truck rentals local to me won't rent a box truck if the know it will
be used to move machinery (they ask). The reason given is that there are
no substantial hardpoints to tie to. Hertz (around here) will rent a 18'
flatbed that would hold your mill. At $150/day and $1.50/mi, plus buying
chains and ratchets (that machine is too big for straps), plus renting a
big fork lift, it might be pretty close to the cost of having it shipped
to you. I have also moved a Hardinge mill, and I am the Lone Ranger of
moving heavy objects (I prefer that no one else be in the way). At 3500
pounds, I would bite the bullet and have it placed where it was wanted.
Ask the fellows for movers in your area.

Worth what it costs.
