Need to move my truck!!!

Hey guys I recently moved to Fl from Ar and unfortunately I was in mid project. Needless to say I had to leave my truck behind in storage.

Its killing me! The truck isn't drivable at the moment so I can't fly up and drive it back. I believe it won't fit in or on a auto transport. I had thought about maybe hiring a hot shot driver to pick it up on a flat bed.

I'm looking for cost effective ideas. Any would be helpful! Thanks guys

Is it on wheels? Find a car hauler trailer, put some GM wheels on the truck to tuck in the width, and haul it. If you buy the trailer, when you get back put new wood and paint on it, and sell for more than you bought it for to pay for some of the fuel costs.
A hotshot will probably cost close to $1000, a single vehicle haul would be around $2 per loaded mile if not more.
