Can a tow truck haul a w123 with rear wheels off?

Good afternoon: As some of you might have read last week, I spent the better part of last weekend trying to do a R&R of my rear 1/2 axles. The passenger side came out o.k., but the driver's side wouldn't come out of the differential. I have tried off and on this week, and still can't get the driver's side 1/2 axle out of the diff.

I am trying to weigh my options, and one of them would be to have it towed to a shop to see if they can get the axle out. I don't know much about tow trucks; would they be able to tow it in with the rear wheels off? The car is currently in my driveway on jackstands, with the wheels off, passenger side axle out, and drivers side axle out of the wheel hub but mostly still in the diff.

Sorry for the silly question, but I haven't had to think through this before. I appreciate any ideas.
