What are the chances of getting them moved to a facility to scan, index them and transfer online for you to download?

How many MILLION$ do you have?
Besides, that still doesn't address the critical factor - TIME. There is precious little time to secure them from the storage unit.

I would try to track down the people behind this show

they might have insights.

RE; Storage Wars
I have used independent haulers for several things, usually farm equipment or other large items, like a riding mower and mini-excavator. I contracted through UShip (https://www.uship.com/freight/ ). They are very price competitive. The excavator (about 6 tons) was about $400 from Southwest Missouri to Cleveland. That is, less than what gasoline would cost for my round trip. Unfortunately, they do not do packing. While they will load their trailers with big items, I suspect they won't want to load 100+ boxes unless palleted and given access to a forklift.

And yes I can afford it.

I'm not sure what your cost estimates are, but given my luck finding people to do 'stuff' lately, I think you're in for a challenge. To get all that done in the time you have seems unlikely, so your backup plan needs to be to find someone that will, for a substantial fee, go get everything and move it to another larger storage facility for starters. Then it can be packed up in a more leisurely manner while you arrange a shipping container. With shipping containers, there seems to be an abundance of them here right now and it is inbound shipping that is maxed out, not outbound. So maybe, just maybe, that part will work out. I hope your overall budget is at least--the very least-$10K US.
