It's not free; it's included in the price. Those are entirely different things.

As for why someone would want to haul things themselves, well, there are a lot of things that you can not reasonably expect delivery on, or paying another person to haul would be unreasonably expensive for. Does that necessarily make up for the cost of a truck? Probably not by itself, in most cases.

Technically - yes. But you won't get a discount if you try to haul it yourself. You'll just spend more money and time.
