What is the cheapest/easiest way to get 4-6 sheets of 4x8 drywall to my
house. My options as I see it are have someone deliver it, but called
someone last night and the delivery charge is $100, which is about five
times the cost of the material or rent a pickup and try and lug it from
Home Depot. I'm also doing all this on my own without anyone to help.

Thoughts?

find a friend/cow-orker with a pickup and offer them a six-pack after
delivery?

Or Home Cheap-O does have the truck that you can rent. I did once, and the
thing was under $30 for me to pick up my own patio door. They had a guy
help me, but he sort of had his hand out for a tip, which I slid $5 into.

Once back home, you can get the sheets out yourself, can't you?
