loading 1/2 ton gaylord from residence

Thought my arrangements would be different, but now i have a situation and would like some ideas.
I have a gaylord of escrap in my driveway which is dirt and need to load it onto a truck. The truck has a liftgate, but i need help getting it onto the gate. Driver has pallet jack, but i dont think that will help since its on dirt.
So far im thinking of trying to push it with a truck mounted snow plow.
Anyone ever dealt with this situation or have advice. I stacked 2x4's underneath the pallet to elevate it.

With the lift gate down can you back under it.

Truck can back right up to it, but its a semi and not sure if the driver will back underneath it or not.
I was thinking 2 sheets of plywood in front of it so a pallet jack might be used, but just want to be sure that would work before i arrange a pick up.

Old-school rigging: With a few pipes to use as rollers on top of a sheet of plywood you should be able to push it by hand. Water pipe, conduit, pvc or even round logs would work.

what a great idea! I've lifted stuff onto buckets before the final lift to my truck but this is even better I think!
