Has anyone modeled a double-decker car hauler?

I'm looking for a good graphic and loading logic that will show cars driving onto a double decker trailer like this one:

and then the whole trailer/hauler can move to the next location.

It doesn't have to be fancy, but I'd like to show the cars on two levels "inside" the trailer.

Perhaps I will need to add some new animations to the loading logic, which I have never done. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Here's a simple example that I put together that creates a double decker transport. It just uses lists to keep track of the "spots" on the transport and the loaded cars. Of course you could make it more intricate for the movement of the cars onto the truck, as well as creating an offload procedure, Either of those would just be further detailed task sequences. Hopefully this is an idea to point you in the right direction.
