Any way.  My technique for transfer, once again revolves around these two 
furry companions of mine.  I use litter containers. They sit flat in my 
floorboard and don't tip easily.  I use the normal opening and then cut other circles 
in the top.  I roll up cylinders of newspaper making sure they extend beyond 
the edge of the container to protect the stalks from any raw edges. I can 
transport 3 -5 in each container.  

Most of the serious show people here have devised elaborate systems.  Boxes 
that contain 2 liter bottles were popular for a while, but are a bit heavy. Now 
we're seeing pvc racks which are much lighter.

Do the rental services stock camper trucks?  LOL!
