I got a couple quotes from local tow companies and find them higher than I hoped. Makes sense, though, considering they would have to tie up a flatbed and a driver for 3 or 4 hours to go both directions.
I have an online quote from a broker who will find a transporter. The quote is quite a bit less than the flatbeds and might be worth it, but still about double the cost of the U-Haul. This also makes sense, given they are carrying multiple cars and probably run up and down the highway all the time for dealers, auctions, etc. I will call them tomorrow and get some specifics.
While I appreciate the suggestion of 4AM traffic avoidance, my brain and body do not function that early and I would become the biggest hazard. If I go U-Haul, I'll try to talk one of my sons into helping me, possibly following me to deter the lane-whippers.
