Are there any moving companies which can transport plants from CA to IL [closed] - From above of anonymous person riding motorbike on asphalt road surrounded with tall verdant palms in daytime

I am planning to move from California to Illinois and while selecting the moving company to transport my belongings I have noticed that they mostly do not want to transport plants.

Unfortunately for me, I have ~20 indoor plants (something like this). I am aware that it would be way cheaper to throw them away and buy the new one, but they have a sentimental value for me, so if the price is below 2k, I would rather move them.

I can't say that I have checked every moving company, but from the first 3-4 of them none of them allowed plants.

My question is: how can I move my plants from CA to IL.
