Transporting Fish

[veni vidi vici]

Im moving from Illinois to Florida and im thinking about transporting my fish with me rather than over night them to myself.
Its going to be a 17 hour drive and im thinking of bringing my fish individually bagged in a cooler with ice packs if needed.I plan on keeping a bag of water with a thermometer in it to monitor temp.
Once i arrive Ill have enough freshly mixed saltwater to temporarily keep my fish in a 75 gal until i get my 125 setup and stabilized,but it may take me a extra hour or two to get the 75 unpacked filled .
Thoughts......Experiences.....??
TIA

Nope.I could pick up a power inverter and a small cheap air pump to saturate the water in route once or twice if needed I suppose.
I just dont know how long my fish could survive in transit.I have nothing to compare with time wise.Like overnight shipping for example,how long are fish actually bagged while being shipped?
