You can fit that in the back of a pickup truck or rent a truck if you don’t own one. You may want to invest in a landscape tarp if you don’t own one

You really don't won't them subjected to a lot of wind out on the highway. Just keep that in mind. You can really damage the tender leaves.
Imagine subjecting a tree to a storm with 60 mile an hour winds.

One trick is if you don't have a wind tarp is to take a small rope and start at the first branch wrapping the limbs up good and tight toward the trunk up the tree so it won't get wind blown. The more times you can wrap around it the better. Then lay them down on the side. The nursery guys should help you load them.

you need to go Hwy 71...much slower highway, but the shorter mileage makes it the same amount of time.
