He's going to need a ramp if he doesn't have helpMaybe get a couple metal ramps like they use for ATVs, and/or heavy plywoodOut of curiosity, how is he getting it into the truck? Could the customer help with unloading?
I don't know how to get it in the truck, but if its already in there, then open the tailgate, put it in reverse, get it going as fast as you can, then slam on the brakes.
Get a bunch of old tires and let gravity do the work for you Try it with something else not valuable and you will see how easy it is to guide the fallI unloaded 500 lb drums that way many years ago it is still a good trick.
If your mother loves chocolate you could just melt some in a double boiler and dip strawberries, pretzels, bananas, etcOr, if your mom isn't into chocolate you could try taking another classic and personalizing it to her favorite colors and flavorsI find that lollipops are easy to do this with, here's a recipe: Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Ingredients: 1 cup sugar ? cup light corn syrup ? cup water ? tsp extract of your choice (vanilla, mint, cinnamon, coconut, etc) Food coloring (optional) Lollipop molds and sticks Preparation: 1Prepare your molds by spraying them with nonstick cooking spray and inserting lollipop sticks into the molds 2Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heatInsert the candy thermometer and stir until sugar dissolves3Allow to boil, without stirring, until candy reaches 295 degrees (hard-crack stage) 4Once the candy reaches 295, remove it from heatStir in the extract of your choice, and, if desired, food coloring 5Spoon the candy into the mold cavities, making sure to cover the back of the stick6Allow to cool completely and remove once hardened If you don't have molds you can just spoon the mixture onto wax paper and set the stick in the middleAlthough the lollies won't be a perfect circle they will still look niceThis would be a very good gift because it would be very personalizedHope this helps! Good Luck!
