I've seen guys strap an empty pallet on the roof of their car, pull up in the parking lot, take it down, add the gaylord, and then unload the car into the gaylord on the pallet, right out in the freight dock parking lot.
With the amount of weight that some of you guys are shipping, you really should be shipping LTL rather than FedEx/UPS/USPS.
