Well, some of that stuff came from me, now it is moving across country.

I suggest renting a 24' or 28' truck from a Farmer in Kansas. Or you might
find one from an independent used truck dealer. Look for a cheap truck rental
that doesn't go by mileage but weekly or monthly rates. Offer a farmer a lump
sum.

Ryder has two rates usually. One with a high daily charge and a low mileage
rate, the other with a low daily rate and high mileage costs. Commercial
accounts can be cheaper and they do issue discount coupons sometimes. At
least the one in Portland, OR has.

I have negotiated long distance rates PDX-LAX and back with Budget. We asked
for a discount because of the high mileage the trip entailed and got one. I
think this is up to the individual agencies though.

If Jim has enough to fill a 24 foot truck then it will not fit in a trailer.

If you have to rent a truck that has to go back, rent one in Kansas.

One ways are considerably more expensive. Look for a company that has an
imbalance of trucks in one place that matches your trip. Then you can
negotiate a special rate.

Good luck Jim and those helping.
