So the answer to this has been surprisingly difficult for me, even after searching here.
Basically I need to move a tub, currently on a dolly on 4 casters, 2 hours from my house in VA to my new house in MD. I've got a truck with hitch. U-Haul has a 6-12 trailer with ramp, but a) not sure if that will fit the 12+ foot tub, and b) it's surprisingly difficult to find any of those available near me. Anyone moved a tub on dolly with one of those? If not, could I use one of their 15 foot enclosed trucks? But those don't really have ramps, do they? Don't know anyone with a car carrier or a flatbed. I guess the best option would be renting a basic flatbed, but cursory googling doesn't seem to show any providers in my general area. Any tips on what brand providers or types of services for this so I can narrow the search? TIA |

Just tie the tailgate in the down position with some rope.
