Has anyone ever moved a hot tub?

We're trying to find a way to move a hot tub from one home to another...the hot tub is in Indiana and residence is in Ohio. The largest rental truck (U-Haul) is only 7 ft. wide and 6 1/2 ft. tall and the hot tub is 8 ft. in diameter. We don't have a hitch so we can't use a trailer. Are there companies who will move such a thing from one state to another?

A trucker friend advised this method of moving large items.

How can we know if our porch is strong enough to support a hot tub?

We want to buy a small two person hot tub and put it on our kitchen porch (which is really large). What kind of professional should we have in to tell us whether our porch can support that kind of weight? Can someone at the hot tub place tell us, or is there some kind of contractor who can answer this question?

Answer
The hot tub place can tell you ,if you give them some measurements. Have to look under the porch to see what size of floor joists you have - 2x8 or 2x10, 16 inches apart or more. Give them the numbers of all measurements you can make. This information would be needed by a contractor too.
