I pulled it off this time, unloaded two drums, heck I seen my buddy and his two sons unload one? So I figured for me it should be a piece of cake!! LOL Diego

LOL Diego I use to unload fuel drums all the time at home, I built a fixture that I could back my truck under and lift them .... much easier on the back(and safer)

I thought I was the only one to do that sometimes I don't even use a tire just the lawn every time I buy a new drum of fuel the wife leaves the house Russ

Oh yeah NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE for delivery "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

I'd suggest one of the wheeled things posted above, and if you can't get any help, a chain and an engine hoist to get it out of the truck. Oh, and the correct answer is D: All Of The Above. Take care of yourself, Ted.
