Hire an outfit to tow trailer 1-way north to south?

I have a car-hauler trailer (with small tractor) that I need to haul from Washington to Arizona.
My first thought was to rent a pickup and tow it myself, than fly back for my camper rig and tow.

But is there a better way?
Has anyone found or used a commercial outfit to haul their trailer?
And what did it cost?
Would you do it again or another way?
  • Drive rig to AZ drop camper and jeep in secure storage and drive back up to WA and get trailer with your pick-up.

    Worried about the wife or the Jeep? :P
  • Thanks for the leads. I've got a call into that B3 Transport companies voice mail.
    As for towing the trailer/tractor behind the rig, I probably could do it but don't want to have the DW drive the Jeep - thou that would be the cheapest way to get it done.
  • If you're just asking for some brainstorming ideas, then....

    Assuming you snowbird in your sig picture, why don't you just tow the car trailer down with the tractor on it. Assuming your truck can handle the weight and got the horse power for the hills . Thinking your car trailer has electric brakes, so that shouldn't be a problem.

    Also assuming you are not solo you can have your traveling companion drive the jeep behind you down south.

    One other option depending on how big/heavy duty of a car trailer/truck you got is put both the slide in and tractor on it and pull it that way. Sure you'll look like a true redneck, but it's only one way not a way of life.
