Thanks all for the comments and considerations. I have considered many of the options mentioned. My initial thoughts were to fly from here to there, rent a cargo van one way and haul the packages. That fell through when I learned that the rental company does not own cargo vans, rather they lease them from local dealerships who in turn sell the vehicles when miles add up. The short of that is cargo vans are not available for 1-way rentals. I was directed to small truck rentals. A 12-foot box truck will be sufficient for my load, and a 1-way rental is reasonable. Unfortunately the box trucks are totally closed with no ventilation, hence unsuitable to haul the bees. Obviously a horse trailer would be more suited to the application but I don't have ready access to a horse trailer. So my thoughts turned to constructing a shelter on a 1-way trailer rental, hence my original query. Surprisingly, I discovered that dual axle trailers also aren't available for 1-way rental! I can get a 1-way rental of a dual axle closed trailer, but again inadequate ventilation nixes that option. So my options are a closed box, or renting an open trailer which I'll haul there and back. My preference is fly with a 1-way rental, but my only option for ventilation is to drive a box truck leaving the cargo door open. I suspect it's a case of if you have to ask you know it's a bad idea, but it's a slow news day so I'll ask anyway. Has anyone hauled bees in a box truck with open back door as the only ventilation? Folly?
