Some of the highest trucks I've seen paddlers use have these roller systems and they seem to work well. It does get awkward at the end due to the height. I saw one couple do this by lifting the bow onto the rollers, having her hold the stern while he climbs onto the roof, then she pushes while he pulls it up and forward to the front saddle. Quite a production. Makes me appreciate my little car.
