Default Options for shipping a glider in trailer within Continental USA?

Assuming that I do not want to personally tow a glider in a trailer for 3000 miles, what are my options? Costs?

Extra lift coupons awarded for relatively recent real life success stories (double lift coupons awarded for horror stories, triple lift coupons awarded for funny horror stories). What about insurance?

Are there people that enjoy doing this sort of transport and that might enjoy taking an all expenses paid trip, with compensating favors?

Uship.com

Shipped gliders twice with no problems, most recently less than two
months ago.

It's a reverse bidding system leaving you in control of who you pick
and how much to pay. Read through each bidders shipping history to
find someone you trust based on previous reviews.

I just used uship.com to ship an electric motor I sold.

It went very well, I got an extremely competative bid, I was very pleased with the way the whole thing worked out.

On their website you can check the shippers feedback as you recieve bids and tell very easily if it is someone you can trust to pull your glider safely.
