Mahalo!
I thought I would answer this again with a little more detail. To get the container off the truck bed, the bed tilts and the container "slides" off. While it sounds dramatic, it is a very slow process and there is plenty of time for "fine tuning" the placement of the rear blocks. The front of the container is dropped directly onto the ground and then later lifted up with chains attached to the rear of the truck bed by controlling it's tilt. While it is suspended by chains, the concrete blocks can be slid under the front of the container. In our case, we used two blocks in the front because the pitch of the ground dropped four inches over the 40 feet.
