Build a small rack with 4x4 posts and some casters/wheels from home depot. Use said wheels to get it up on a flatbed or other trailer. Depending on what kind of tub, it may be possible to put it on a flatbed tow truck and then off load it into the back of a moving van, etc. and then tying down inside.

Here's how I moved two mustang shells. Steel tubing and some cheap wheelbarrow wheels from HD. Later sold the dollies on eBay for twice what I had into them. Mount them to the stock suspension pick up points. Most commercial carriers will take them set up this way:

We use a couple of furniture dollies to move around 911 tubs... A naked tub is not that heavy ( don't know the exact weight)
The big dolly belongs to the striping place....  Sitting in our lot on dollies... don't have pic of the dollies

Porcelain tubs can be difficult to ship. Might want to strap it down to a pallet before you load into the back of a pick up.
