Holy crap! What's the plan to unload the car when it gets to its destination?

Based on what I'm seeing, they've done this before.
I thought to myself, put the car in neutral and set the e-brake. Let the rear truck back up and move you into the front truck. Looks like that's what they did.

I would have to venture a guess that the other truck is going to the same destination, otherwise it's not coming out, unless there's a loading dock where they're going.

I've done that before with my liftgate trucks and what you see is the easy part. The hard part is:

1) Climbing out of the car when its in the box, there is no room to open the door, so you go out the window and best be very young, supple and slim.

2) You still have to secure the car from moving inside the box,at all four corners, that's much harder than it looks. The car WILL move otherwise.

To get it out is no big deal other than climbing in the car, just reverse the process. Simple.

I expect that would work fine, but it seems awfully inefficient to send two trucks to the drop-off location & do that dance again. Hope their pricing was low enough to make up for the heartburn I'd be experiencing.

I don't disagree at all. However in my case I own trucks for my business they're here in the parking lot so it costs nothing but some time. I picked up a car off a loading dock several hundred miles away and that's how we got it out of the truck when I got back home.
