1/2 t trucks and 18 miles of dirt to hwy. Full time here...LOLWhen I worked at the feed company, we would let good customers ship pallets to us to unload by forklift, saving the Liftgate charge, and generally getting a commercial rather than residential freight rate. The customer would have us load their pallet in their pickup when they came to town.
Come to think about it a retired guy with a truck and a place in town might find some opportunity as a "Last mile" delivery service for folks in the country.
