I used my local lumber yard quite a bit. I'd call them and the next pass thru delivering lumber they would drop by and unload for me. With an 8000 lb forklift I didn't need anything bigger until the Mazak arrived. 50 bucks a pop was a better deal than the 15000 forklift from the crane place for 10X the price.
