This is from the Uhaul website
The 6x12 cargo trailer is one of the public’s favorite trailers for rent for cross-country moves or across town moves. These cargo trailers can double as an enclosed motorcycle trailer; no rain, snow or flying rocks to chip the paint with this trailer. The 6x12 cargo trailer has a low deck, smooth floor and wide-open access door to make loading and unloading easy.

The first time I ever trailered a bike I used a enclosed u-haul that had no tie-downs...the trailer was assembled with "sex-bolts"
I removed 2 of those and replaced them with eye bolts...I also drilled 2 holes in the floor and installed eye bolts with a backing plate...
Removed all before I returned the trailer...no one noticed the 2 holes...if they would have noticed I would have played dumb...

+1 on shipping the bike.
Many years ago I hauled my BMW R100 from SD to Michigan. I rented a U-Haul truck and secured the bike with nylon rope, no chock, and had no problem. A chock is nice but you can secure the front wheel with rope or tie-downs. IIRC, that truck had E track and hook eyes.

Use a 8X4 sheet of 3/4 plywood. Bolt a wheel chock to it, along with tie down hooks at all 4 corners. Get at least 3, 2X10X2 boards about 5 feet long and bolt ramp tongues to one end.. The 2X10's will be your ramps, Cheap, easy to store and reusable. You need at least 3. The bike will go in and come out on the center board. Place another on each side for your feet. Try backing out of something only using one foot and you'll see why.
Along with strapping your bike securely to the plywood, strap it to the tie downs within the trailer. With the bike strapped to the trailer and the plywood, it won't go anywhere.

This is what me and my buddy did to get his bike from TN back to Ohio, Make sure the bike is secure to the plywood then use a couple straps to the walls as well. Here is the wheel chock we used.
I liked it better than others because it has built in tie downs for the front.
