(2) 20' Containers from LAX to JAX

Greetings all. Just joined the forum, not a truck driver, never shipped anything large before. I've got (2) 20' loaded Conex type boxes to ship from Los Angeles to the Jacksonville FL area. I've got no clue what they weigh each (20,000+#?), and don't know if they should both go on the same flatbed or if anyone has 2 separate short trailers, or what. I'm assuming that I will need a boom truck to load and unload. (I doubt a forklift will cut it). LAX location is semi-suburban, close to I-5, with wide Alley access and minimal traffic. Florida location is a former gas station on a State Hwy, with flat lot and large rear parking area. I've contacted a few brokers and they promise me everything, without asking for too many details - which I think is really sketchy. Sites like Shiply and U-Ship don't seem to be set up for this either. I want to avoid surprises and not have to unload anything at some random weigh station, or avoid any potential problems. Please give any advice you can think of.
