A system for oilfield service equipment transportation and placement comprises a street-legal truck having a tool skid handling system and a tool skid. The tool skid may be offloaded from, and loaded onto, the truck, by means of the tool skid handling system, while requiring only a single person to carry out the loading or offloading. Preferably, the tool skid holds all specialized service equipment for carrying out a particular job at a wellsite, for example running a string of casing or other threaded connection tubulars. The tool skid handling system has a hydraulically powered arm with a hook on the end, and enables one person (namely, the driver of the truck) to load and offload the fully loaded tool skid with no additional assistance. Exemplary methods for using the system are also disclosed.
