My experience had been no matter how careful I am invariably an inner cover or bottom board comes 
loose in transit and a hive gets jacked up. 

I always screw or nail down the inner covers and use a hive staple on the bottom boards.  If you 
don't have any staples you can make a cleat with some scrap wood and screw into the stack and 
bottom board. I use my Dewalt a lot moving hives, it does not shake the hive up like a hammer.
