Bob, time to start parking the car outside and get a bigger table saw :0)
If not, what about building a table around your saw or building/buying a roller table or two.
Since it's a contractors saw, I'd also suggest looking at the Fine Homebuilding forum (breaktime?). I'm sure those guys will have tons of ideas.
I use two roller stands for infeed support.
My "shop" is the garage and it's not used for parking cars. My TS sits near the garage door facing into the garage and I have a large workbench in the middle which doubles as the outfeed table.
When it's time to cut sheet goods, I back the pickup into the driveway, set up my roller stands, drop the tail gate, and slide the sheets over the stands and onto the saw.
I haven't had to "horse" the heavy stuff onto the saw for a couple of years now, and my back sure appreciates that. - lol
