Cost estimate for FL to TX? LTL or O/O?

I am doing some research into buying a 45', 48', or 53' trailer for storage. I've found a site (www.govliquidation.com) that happens to have a lot of trailers available in FL, but I am in TX. How much do you think it would cost to move an empty trailer from FL to TX? That said, am I much better off finding a trailer locally? Can anyone point me to a site to find used trailers for sale locally?

Also, when I need to move my trailer(perhaps intercity, or just in-town), should I look at LTL companies, or go to a truck stop and recruit an O/O? What's the best way to do that?

Edit: The bottom line is, I'm looking for a cheap storage trailer in Longview, TX. Where is the best place to look for used 45, 48, or 53' trailers? Online? Call around? All tips appreciated.

 

Well that's good. Any ideas on what a per-mile cost would be? I've seen "Earn up to 41c per mile" on the back of trucks, but is that a realistic cost if I were to hire a trucker?

Edit: If I got a trailer in Dallas, it'd be about 130 miles east on I-20.

 

I'm looking to get a storage trailer in Longview, TX. I imagine that non-roadworthy trailers will be MUCH cheaper(and they meet my needs), but getting that trailer to my property will be difficult, and if I ever want to move it again, that's trouble. Is it a possible to get some kind of one-trip permit for a trailer that's good enough for another ~150 miles, but not inspected? How much of an additional expense would I be looking at to keep the trailer legally roadworthy, in terms of inspections and such?

 

Also, what's a "chipper" trailer?
