We are moving about 12 hours away and will be hiring a moving truck.
I need to figure out how to secure this collection.
My current thought is to loosen the handlebars and pivot them 90 degrees, remove the pedals then tie them against a wall with lots of cardboard and rags to prevent rubbing.

Your idea should work great. That is pretty much how I did my last move. I brought 4 bikes and two motorcycles. One being a DRZ actually.
They won’t (shouldn’t for insurance reasons) take the dirtbike in the truck.
Best way would to go to your LBS and see if they have bike boxes from new bike builds and use the packing inserts/cardboard/foam etc. It would be basically as good as when they ship the bikes to the stores to begin with.
You can also use split pool noodles or pipe insulation to protect the frames.
Or maybe you can convince your SO that it’s time to get a new bike hitch rack…
I boxed all mine. Makes it easier to pack and less likely for a bike to get damaged.
