Ship someplace.... can I sell it from where I am...

The latter. You have to be physically there in order to sell/swap your ships. It is a bummer I know and there has been a lot of discussions about it in the past with various solutions (paid ship delivery missions, etc, etc).
Personally i prefer to buy a Cobra MK3 as a taxi, or a sidewinder then Cobra at the nearest place. Cobra it's way better as a taxi (range, speed, survivability etc ). I know is a bad game mechanic, but in my opinion it's better than first elite when you have only a Cobra MK3 or FE2 where you can have access to multiple ships, but only one of the time.
Maybe in a future version................

The hauler makes the best taxi, due to it's tiny running costs and very long range (if you go shieldless).
Depends on what you're flying now. From this question, I will infer that you are new, so that ship is most likely a viper MK4, and if it is and you are planning on bounty hunting you should switch to flying that instead of what you have now
Maybe if you don't take into account commanders out there. With a hauler you are pretty much toast if you encounter another commander, and i play only in open.
I've flown a hauler all over the place, mostly to get to Li space to buy stuff at a discount, and the only bumps have been trigger happy NPCs. If you aren't jumping through starter systems, sectors with rares, or where CGs are active, then the risk is really (really) low.
Also, how much are you going to lose, if a CMDR toasts your tiny Hauler? Apart from the nuisance factor of some lost time, and a handful of rebuy credits.

It's not the cost of the ship, it's the time i lose with the trip. Also i really love to evade "player blockades", it's one of the most fun things to do in this game. And Cobra MK3 it's second the best in game for this, Clipper being first.
