    Looking for thoughts and opinions on unloading a stretched golf cart off the top deck?

    Just looking for ideas besides calling a roll back. its a partial and I booked one going few hundred miles south of this drop not thinking.

    You already know your best "safest" option. Only other hope is unloading via makeshift ramps or lucking out and having a loading dock area you can pull up beside.

    Lacking proper ramps.....bite the bullet and call a rollback. Less pain in the long run.

    Get an extra pair of skid seats put on the front of your upper deck. I've seen a couple done that way.......never had need of it myself though.
