If there is a big time gap between when you get to your destination and the moving truck how about fedex'ing the one you most often ride and moving truck the others. For sending my bike to portland for my STP ride I got a used bike box, fork and derailleur guards and wheel plugs from my lbs for free. Bubble wrap (I'd use foam wrap for a painted bike), zip ties and roundtrip fedex with insurance from the los angeles area to portland was $160. I was able to pack it with just taking the wheels off, skewers out, handlebar off the stem, pedals off and lowering the seat. There has to be how to box a bike videos on the net. Personally I'd box the ones going in the moving truck too.
