How do I add "Common Carrier" to the list of shipping choices? Sometimes I need to hire a truck to dfeleiver my ovens to customers. I dont see any options.

Unfortunately, you can't modify or add new shipping choices. What you see is what you get.

However, there is a work around that does work but, it takes some manual coding, the shipping override variables and perhaps the use of a script to manage the choices and then pass that data to the PayPal Checkout Screens.

Here's one example you can tinker with for a few ideas.
