Just make sure your truck is rated to legally haul the load, and chain it down tight in transit. When I was a kid, my dad used to haul a 933 CAT dozer in the back of his grain truck. We had a silage pit with a reinforced concrete floor on the farm, and he'd just back up to the far end and drive right on or off. As long as you have a level place to drive off and on at both locations, you're in the money. I do NOT recommend using any kind of ramps to get your machine on or off--use a level-with-the-bed loading dock ONLY! You take too big of a risk of slipping using anything other than a level loading dock or similar structure. Make sure you set your parking brake, too. I had a situation last year where somebody forgot to set their parking brake and had a mishap. Luckily, only the machine was damaged and not the operator. It sounds silly, but it happened. Good Luck.
