Workaround for Non-local Transportation of Robots to Competitions

Dear FRC Community,
the last couple of years, I have spent a ton of time trying to figure out how to consistently participate in several FRC regional competitions and the Championship Event, as well as off-season events during the summer.

With 2 donated airbills that we graciously received, we are able to have a robot either accepted to an event or picked up via drayage. However, teams are not allowed to have robots shipped directly to a venue and we cannot have robot sent to drayage site, if you plan to only use an airbill from that event to send robot to its next event.


Thus, we were officially told the only way is to have it delivered to a hotel (where we are staying) or deliver it to a local team to handle.
So far, its easier said than done. Our crate normally weighs 1000lbs and dimensions are 69 x 48 x 48".

Please tell me there is an easier way to do this.
Do hotels have forklifts and/or pallet jacks?
