Ya that's not a lot of livestock. You should be OK in the short term during the move.

Make sure to point your powerhead to the surface to agitate it for oxygenation. In fact, if it were me I would throw in an air stone as a precaution. During the move livestock can get quite stressed and as a result respire a lot more than they normally would.

I'm thinking they will be in the cooler for at least 4 hours while everything gets moved and cleaned.

I was on the fence with the air stone but I think I'll put one in.

I would be worried about the movement of rock inside the cooler on transportation with the fish, might come out with some disappearing injured fish.

I would try to transport them separate then maybe at the house transfer them over? Just my opinion but it could be okay as long as you don't drive like my wife.

Hmmm good point.

Definatly use an air stone the fish will do way better

Another issue I'm on the fence about is the sand. To replace the sand is going to be 80 dollars or do I rinse my current sand that is just over 1 year old.
