How do you haul large items (lumber, appliances, cabinets, etc) to and from your properties?

[Rick L.]

I'm not at the point where I think purchasing a truck/van to haul supplies (-ie, lumber, cabinets, water heaters, etc) is justified.  However, I do need to find a way to haul large items from Lowe's/Home Depot to my property(s).  How do you haul items to and from your properties?

I've rented a truck from the Depot without having to purchase anything, but like you say each store can impose its own rules.  If that was the case, I would rent the truck and then buy a 2x4 to throw in it.
