IF you have to use a board, use the widest one you can, have several people to help and do it with the engine off. At least one person needs to be in the truck bed. I like the painters' walkboard better, if it is a heavy duty one. I like the idea of using a loading dock, or other similar architectural feature even better.

We've got some really cool 2" thick by 12" wide Aluminum extrusion that works great for loading bikes... Its strong too, we use to 7' pieces to load my car on the trailer. This stuff is re-purposed old highway signs, its light and strong.
