You could always transport the tank upside down? :-)

I do not see the problem transporting a tank upside down, Sense the weight of the tank is all supported on the outter edges not in the middle.

only problem I see transporting the tank upside down is if it's not a bare-bottom tank, and you want to keep your live rock/sand in the tank during the move (always my preference) then upside down would result in a mess. If this is not something you want to do, then upside down should work beautifully!

I would be a little concerned about transporting your live rock in the tank.. Bumps in the road could shift the rocks causing them to bump and scratch your glass.
