lift gate,
The two aren't mutually exclusive. Several times I've rented a
lift-gate truck, usually from Budget, to move a machine. Now this
was always on the West Coast,
I've rented and driven trucks with lift gates from both Budget and Ryder
in the last three weeks with no problems and nothing but a standard
license. Perhaps you may need a special permit if you're going across state
lines.

I've worked for a rental company. Drove every truck/van they had except for
the dump trucks, and huge Internationals they had, I needed to get a chauffeurs
license to drive those. Most were flat-beds, but the covered vans all had lift
gates on them. I've never had a problem, and don't see why you would. Just my
2 centavos.
