Wow that's a long time for transit.
Even in a cooler that's a lot of opportunity for things to go wrong.

What if the truck or container is parked outside in the direct sunlight in 80 degree plus weather for a few days? How hot does it get in the truck? 100 degrees, 110 degrees? Even in a cooler that's a lot of heat.

Yup....I would do the cooler with beads, but leave the cooler with a friend, and have them ship it to you when you arrive at your new home.

That's what I would do or try to make room in the car for the cooler and take them with you as you move. Best wishes. Moving sucks.

Seems like the best advice. Leave them in responsible hands. You wouldn't put your houseplants in the moving van? Would you?
