Many of us have used Uship.
I just used Uship for a delivery of a glider from Washington State to Florida. The guy was professional and very, very cost effective.
The "best" way depends on what you're trying to optimize. The implication is "minimum cost", but perhaps another way to look at it would be "maximum value" -
Fly to Texas, rent an RV with a trailer hitch from a national chain and drive back, hitting a few soaring spots on the way that you'll never have the opportunity to check out again. Take a couple of weeks. Drop the RV close to home.

Your idea is a great one!

Thanks for the replies everyone!
Hi Phoenix, how much did they charge for your trip across the whole country?
The lowest quote on Uship is for around $2500 from San Antonio to Williams CA. Does that feel about right? Do they need to have insurance for this? What if they drive too fast and flip the trailer or something?
Hi Doug, that is a great idea! I like it! But I don''t know if I can find the time to do that right now. But shoot that would be so fun!

As it's nominally 1800-1900 miles with possibly some mountain driving, seems like a good rate since the price of fuel is around $1.00 higher than a year ago. Their liability insurance is in effect, but your hull coverage protects you.

Frank is right regarding insurance. I paid $2,100 for dragging the cobra trailer. I had quotes as high as $5,700!
