Hi Tom,
Yes the owner drives his car onto the pallet, and then drives it off the pallet himself as well.
I had a close look at the cars (of course!) after they were unloaded, and to my eye, they were spotlessly clean. Hard to believe they had just been trucked 1700 miles, which is more than half way across the continent.
The unloading procedure was simple, just using a decent sized forklift, so was completed quickly. "Occupational Health and Safety" was left in the rule book though - one of the gentlemen involved in the unloading stood under the pallet on the truck with a big hammer to help with the pallet alignment

Cheers!
Glen
