The U-Haul open car carriers are OK for moving cars that are on wheels but most of them are open between the rails that the wheels ride in. They are not flat beds. For moving a body only, I'd recommend at least a flat bed trailer so that the body could be better supported. Open trailers are risky for long distances. Inclement weather or accidents on the road are always a possibility. For shorter distances, the risk factor decreases according to the amount of time on the road.


Speed depends on several factors. Trailer tires are made for load capacity more than speed but they can sustain highway speeds if the load is light. If you use a tarp to cover the load then it will have to be well secured all the way around. They tend to flap in the breeze and that can damage the tarp and the load so that can also factor in on the road speed.
