    I put autos on my rig all the time as I was HHG driver, I used my wallboards most of the time, but some vehicles were a bit tricky, I'd call a roll back wrecker and for $65.00 they'd just back right up to my trailer, u could save a lot by doing that n hauling it yourself

    Like several people have suggested use a roll back wrecker. You back the car up his bed and then just transfer the car to your trailer. We do it all the time when we bring cars back from Alaska in our reefer trailers.

    If you get a little creative, you can usually find an empty factory or warehouse that has an appropriate dock you can use on the sly.
    I did this one time when I was moving, had permission to load my car on my flatbed, and haul it to my new terminal 3 states away. I asked permission from the usual suspects with a usable ramp. Nobody would allow it.
    Later I looked around industrial parks and found an empty large warehouse with a ramp that would work.
    Had a friend drive my car to that area at 4am, backed in, loaded it up, chained it down, was gone in 5 minutes.

    Ha ha. It would probably arrive all banged up. Especially if it is that Jared character.

    Moving companies all have ramps. Either inside or outside their warehouse.

    If you can get it yourself, just call a local towing company with a roll back to load it on your flatbed. You'll get it loaded up for under $100
