Just some thoughts,

That is some excellent advice right there!
The last cylinder I picked up (last year) was a 50lb (NET weight) liquid CO2 tank. I layed it down in the back of my Honda wagon and secured it with ratchet straps. The wagon has D-rings in the back for tying down cargo.
Like Arvid says, they rolled it out to the edge of the dock, and it's all on you after that. They walk away so they don't "witness" anything.
It's a big tank, but just to give you an idea of the cost involved HERE - I got it on a 5-year lease that was $250.
IIRC, I think the 20-year lease on my big Argon tank was only $300.
