Actually some of them do John. The times I used them, helping load up was no
problem for them. I actually had one pick up some mono band yagis once from CA
and the guy even marked parts and disassembled them for me before loading them
into his trailer. I paid him a little extra for it. Will you get this service
from the big guns? No chance.
By the way, U-ship haulers are all insured so if your load gets damaged, you
are covered.
