Back in the '90s I often hauled car batteries to recyclers in the LA area. 
One was a little batter than the other but neither were pleasant places. 
You did not get out of the truck as space suited minions unloaded the 
batteries.

Fun fact: 44000 pounds of leaking, grungy batteries with unknown levels of 
charge are NOT a hazardous materials load. 44000 pounds of pristine, 
factory fresh batteries is. 

This is an important consideration if you loaded in Denver. Hazmat loads 
don't go through Eisenhower tunnel.

Loveland Pass is even higher and twistier. At 12,000' if you stand up 
straight even the mountain goats need supplemental oxygen.

It didn't help that in Stephen King's 'The Stand' Trashman goes through 
the tunnel with a wolf escort.
