A 250 lb rock really isn't that big. For this size rock I would take a good contractors grade wheelbarrow and lay it down beside the rock. Roll the rock into the wheelbarrow bucket....give a good grunt and stand up the wheelbarrow. Then grunt one more time to roll the wheelbarrow and rock up into the truck using a long ramp.

If your a smaller person get someone to help

If the rock is bigger then get a good 2 wheel dolly or better still a tree cart. Manhandle the rock onto the cart and then use a cheap boat winch from the truck to pull the whole cart and rock up a ramp into the truck
