What Do You Use When You Transport Your Cakes?

I haven't a clue how to transport a large cake. For instance, I assume the cake should be protected from any kind of foreign material from touching it or blowing onto it when it is in the back of the car or SUV. Since you don't want anything touching the finished cake and ruining the scrollwork or shellwork or design. how do you protect a cake, like a wedding cake from anything floating around the vehicle. Are there boxes deep enough for a 2 layer or 3 layer cake. Even if you assemble it at the hall or restaurant, the layers are still pretty high. What does everyone use.
I buy my boxes at the UPS store - you can also find them at u-haul places - they sell a variety of sizes - I usually buy a box as big as my base and that usually accomodates the heigth - like if I have a 18" board for my 14-10-6 stacked cake - I put it in an 18" square box - the cake board fits tight so there's no shifting - every once in awhile I need to put a cake in a box larger than the cake board to make up for the heigth - then I will put non-skid shelf liner under the cake board to prevent shifting...
I always use the Rubber Maid containers w/ a lid, with a
rubber mat or that thing you put under a rug.
SAME for me: I don't have my cakes stacked I stack at the venue.
I also buy boxes from the UPS store since they're new and relatively clean. I like to insert the cake from the side, so if the cake is small enough, sometimes I can get a box that is tall enough when on it's side. If that's not possible, I just cut open one of the sides to make a 'door'.
