I keep coming back to house mover because they've done this enough to know what works and have the equipment to lower and raise the structure on to a purpose designed trailer long enough and strong enough for the task.
My guy had a pair of hydraulic house jacks that were linked together so they raised and lowered the same amount at the same time. He also had enough oak cribbing to stack as needed to raise all four corners of the house.
Telephone poles would concern me for the amount of weight, the taper, and the round profile having a tendency to roll during travel.
Cobbling this to that would also concern me for wanting to separate at the worst possible moment on some roadway with a bunch of idiot drivers to contend with.
You also need to check your route of travel for low hanging power lines and any other height obstructions.
