Two improvements to the loading procedure:
1. load from the transom so the truck's for-and-aft rather than athwartships, and
2. take a good run at it so the boat doesn't have time to sink when the front wheels go on!

You're welcome.

This is where the term RO--RO came from Rolll On--Roll Off.

Hey it is the only way to get things done in some places. It is not as chaotic as it may seem. Those went without a problem but they have a lot of techniques to recover from possible mishaps. That's just the loading, sailing them boats with those loads is the real adventure. They usually unload at a dock with facilities so probably a crane will be available.

How big is a boat whose beam exceeds the wheel base of a small dump truck?
