Until there is an accident on the I5 bridge then it might be faster to walk over it back to Vancouver. (Happened last this year 2025)
Re the help lift heavy items to load at the parts pickup, not really. The people manning the booth at the parts pickup are members of the clubs putting the swap meet at the EXPO center and are there to watch the parts and make sure the correct people pick them up. For the most part, you bought them you load them.
