I may be wrong but I think 10 inch trout are about a pound or less so you are dealing with about 50 lbs of trout. That means about 1/2 pound per gallon at 100 gallons which would be O.K. for hauling as long as you have sufficient oxygen.

I would use both oxygen and an aerator pump. You should have a regulator and a flow meter but you can probably get away without a flow meter.

I would add about 0.67 oz. of non-iodized salt (available at the grocery store) per gallon of water, which comes out to about 4 lbs. of salt to 100 gallons of water.

Salt reduces osmotic stress, which can make the difference between all the fish alive and healthy and a stressed fish and a few dead ones. It really makes a difference.

You could reduce their consumption of oxygen by adding ice and thereby reducing the water temperature.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
