Enjoying these videos! Quick question for Paul Rea or anyone else who has an answer...is it typical that the truss-delivery truck would include hoisting the truss bundles overhead to lay them atop the walls?

Yes, as part of their price, the truss company usually includes one hour for their truss truck to hoist the bundles. If it takes longer they may charge you more. -Tim

Our truss vendor doesn’t.
The trusses show up on a roll off trailer and are left on the ground.
