How do other teams transport their equipment? What are the pros and cons?

We've bounced around getting a trailer, but the main objection is that we would still have to get a mentor or parent with a trailer hitch to drag the trailer to our events. Given where we are (Delaware), most events are 1-3 hours away without traffic.

We actually asked for sponsorships from local storage companies, FlexBox and 1-800-HAUL-OUT and their awesome employees helped us load up our equipment and unload at Chestnut Hill. I would suggest asking local companies in your area to help out like we did!
