This was great advice!! thank you! Can I keep my tortoise for travel in a glass enclosure?
A large plastic container is easier to handle, I guess. Even a 40 gallon glass tank is heavy to put in and out (and there are no handles).
But if it's the enclosure your tortoise has got used to, it may work better (for a quick trip when you don't have time to introduce her to a new enclosure).

yea, I want to keep her in the passenger seat leg space since the uHaul won't be heated in the luggage area. So the plastic container wont fit there :/ .. its a 10 hour journey from NYC to Toronto.. we are planning to do a night stay in Buffalo not to stress my tortoise and my dog too much!

Yup, our glass container was too big so we fit it in the middle and she made it beautifully from NYC to Toronto! I'm going to write all the steps on how to export and import your tortoise from USA to CANADA in a separate chain!
