How to offload a forklift off a flatbed without a loading dock?

i have a dilemma i bought a 7000 pound forklift and i don't have a loading dock to unload it from. one idea is to have a tow truck back up to the tractor trailer and load it on from their then tie it down and lower the tow truck bed. it is not an off road forklift so it cant be tipped to far forward. i live in the middle of no where and do not know anyone with a dock nearby any ideas? p.s the forklift will not be shipped with any unloading devise

you can always back up to a hillside and use it like a loading dock. just make sure the forklift doesn't sink into the ground.
