Response: Yes it can ride on edge in a pickup truck with the bottom of the hot tub tilted resting on the bed rail. (3/25/2008)

Response: Just a bit of information. We deliver A LOT of pool materials and hot tubs through out Long Island. I have been asking around about your idea of shipping in the back of a pick up. EVERYONE says not to do it because the subtle bouncing on the tub could cause damage. Denting or cracking the skirting is the lease of concerns, what they all say is that your tub might get stress cracks in the acrylic shell from the stress of sitting crooked and bouncing. Your tub should lay on its bottom while being moved. Hope this helps. (3/27/2008)
