If you have only a small sheet of glass you can transport it by simply leaning it against the back seat of a regular sedan rather than using a moving van.
Best way to store sheets of glass.

Oct 27 2014 thanks to christine for the suggestion on storage for sheets of glass.
Cover the surface of the glass with cloth or thin foam packing sheets which you can find at office supply stores and package shipping services.
Place two strips of masking tape in an x shape across one side of the glass pane and then follow up with four smaller x shapes within the quarters created by the first x.
It will not prevent breakage but it will contain the mess should something unfortunate occur.
Most of the cars i buy the glass is already cracked and of course it depends on the car.
Simply pull out these pretty glass jars full.
This will provide some protection against surface scratches.
Now i know at a glance when i need to make a run to armstrong glass.

Store your everyday towels and sheets on the center shelf.
One of the biggest pains about moving is figuring out how to transport fragile items such as window glass.
Put them in frames use in tables tops paint with stained glass paint and hang build a cold frame mini green house sell them on ebay or give away on freecycle.
This helps reinforce the entire structure and will keep most of the glass shards together if the pane breaks during transport.
This gives us about a 14 degree angle to hold the glass.
If there is a safe place to store glass on site store it on a wheeled a frame cart or carts.
Otherwise it should stay in the truck.
Glass racks used by commercial glass companies are designed to hold glass vertically and at a slight angle.
If the job is big enough to warrant it arrange to keep the truck on site overnight.
Our glass rack is built 52 high and the bottom is 13 wider than the top.
