This may be the unpopular answer but your 1/2 ton pulling a tandem trailer, with or without trailer brakes, will be fine for a one time highway trip.
I once put 3000lbs of patio stone in a 2000lbs single axle trailer, behind my Jeep Cherokee for 60 miles. I wouldnt recommend that to anyone, but you will be fine with your full size truck and a tandem axle trailer.
Just take your time, leave lots of braking room, pay special attention to whats going on around you and it will work just fine.
If you go to Uhaul for a trailer, dont tell them what you are hauling. They will probably not want you to haul a tractor on it, I dont know the reason for this stupidity but Ive heard of people having this problem with them.
