Thank you Rob. Might need to make two trips one for the jeep and another for the trailer. I was surprised that the hauling companies I contacted would not ship a trailer. I only have a Dodge Caravan not exactly good for hauling lol.

You could use the caravan to tow the 1/4 ton trailer, but I would not reccomend it for towing the m151a2. Nor would the owners manual.

I would as Rob suggests put the Mutt on a Uhaul trailer, however, to negate a second trip and because it is my style I would first drag the trailer to a tow truck company and pay them to rig and hoist and flip the trailer upside down and then plonk in on top of some two by sixes put across the width of the truck box with cleats attached to secure them from sideways movement and secure it down and then back up to the trailer and load that. My reason is because is it gives you more wiggle room to best balance the Mutt on the trailer fore and aft so that you have the best tongue weight on the truck and don't loose steering function. and remove or robustly everything that will flap in the wind during the trip. you would be amazed at the damage 2 inches of loose strap can do against paint over time. I have learned such lessons the hard way. My 2 cents worth

You could also try Uship, bidders will send you a price.
It can be cheaper if you can bypass brokers though and hook up directly with a trucker.
