Joe, you're not much different from us! We do a very similar method on
shipping. We primarily use Yellow Freight for palletized kind of freight -
have had very good luck with them. But because we live on a narrow country
road, they can't come all the way to the house - no way for them to turn
around. So we meet the truck up the street where there's a turnaround with
the deuce and back it up to the truck and swap pallets. Then when we get
to the house, we offload the pallets with a MHU-83 bomb lift that we have.
It works great! Who needs a forklift!

Locate a local big name hauler. Roadway is only eleven miles from me, so
it's
very convenient for me to deliver items on pallets. I have even called them
and made arrangements for motors to be picked up in NC (I'm in NJ) and have
delivery made to my place. No forklift? They will deliver using a truck
with a
hydraulic tailgate (extra charge). I then use an old Ford 8N tractor with a
front
end loader to lift the items off of the tailgate. No loading dock? I back
my
M35A2
right up to their truck when I get lighter stuff, like tires.
