Art, This situation occurs all the time! Freight truck drivers hate waiting and any of them above a moron will call you ahead with an ETA. The tower company will tend to work with only one shipping c

You've already received good ideas, but here's what I did in receiving my HDX-555, which weighs about 800 pounds and arrived in an enclosed tractor-trailer rig: When the delivery driver alerted me to
