Alan's offer certainly would lower the stress factor. I'm already comfortable with an empty trailer as I picked it up from Danny in Lexington, VA, and drove it ~400 miles home. I'm still debating the rental truck suggestion, but prices certainly have gone up and I'd have it for over a week. It'd still be lower stress (for me, at least) if I could con Carey or Mike into delivering it , but that's somewhat dependent on the delay.
