Default remodel without a truck?

" wrote:

We're planning on doing a remodel involving a new wall and hand-built
shower stall with a budget of around $2,000 for materials. The
problem is, that we don't have a truck and I don't want to bother
anyone to borrow theirs for all the drywall, studs and tile we're
buying.

Is there any solution to this? I've seen that HD will actually rent
out trucks for like $20/hr, but it looks like a hassle and I don't want
to be responsible for their under maintained fleet vehicle, even if
only for an hour.

Do you see any obvious solution?


Plan ahead and rent a truck? Budget usually seems to have the best
trucks, U-Haul usually has the worst. When I moved I needed to rent a
truck with a lift gate to move stuff from several locations to the semi
doing the actual move. Budget came through with a big International 4300
with 24' box and lift gate with a couple thousand miles on it i.e.
practically new at a good rate. It lined up nicely with the semi for
palette jacking stuff between the two.
