Better mail order houses will explicitly state at time of order that the
truck driver will not unload, and lift gate or straight truck service
may cost more.

The beef is with the machine dealer, not the trucking company.

The original post stated, "Before shipping Grizzly sent an email
asking me to agree to shipping terms which included a statement that the
driver would not assist in unloading the package from the truck. I
figured that it was just BS and agreed."

I see no grounds for a beef with the machine dealer.
