We can set it up so the freight co. can call you for pickup at their
terminal.  Then, you just find a f-r-i-e-n-d who has a pickup and offer to
do a free wash/wax job on his truck if he is willing to pick up the pig for
you.  He's happy to get the nice hand wax job --- you get your pig
delivered.  Necessity is always the mother of invention.
