I note that the player can stand on or jump on a dynamic entity. However, when the entity is moving using the MoveForward Lua command he just falls through. I am trying to have the player jump onto a moving vehicle. Is this possible?

are you turning collision off to move it? this isn't strictly needed if it's a horizontal movement and should solve the issue.

Thanks, SmallG! It worked. Although, I also needed to turn Physics on. Check out my vid:

Very nice job lordjulian, I was wondering if it was possible to do something like this also, so it has answered my question before I could ask it.

I've got something to say - It's better to burn out than fade away.

if the player is not anchored to the object it will simply move out from under him, if he's able to get stuck inside (like in an open cage area) he'll get pushed along (but it might not "feel" very smooth) and/or if you use the TransportToIfUsed(e) on a decal or something in the boat it would likely work best.
