You can't, you have to load them into the dropship after the game starts.
There is an AI script you can use under 'Run AI script at Location'. (Enter Transport, it's near the bottom)

are you using a UNIT that crashes SC in the map??
Report, edit, etc...Posted by DarkStar64 on 2005-05-15 at 08:28:00
nope, i didn't make any new things, all i did was rename them. I have done it for other maps too and they all worked. It must be the triggers.

You've probably placed a unit off the edge of the map.
Xtra Editor will allow you to place units off the edge of the map, but they will crash SC.

The minerals on the bottom left side look like they're too close to the edge, might want to move them over, that's all I can see without testing.

It has something to do with the unit properties. If you have any units set to build time of 0 or if you changed the shield properties of any non-protoss unit then you will crash.
Build times cannot be 0, research times can. Protoss are the only ones that allow you to change their shield points.

Your "airfield" (starport) has 0 hp and 0 build time when viewed in X-tra, I don't think you can do that.

Not just X-tra, but im SCMD2 and Starforge aswell. Meaning they aren't even 1/15.

It is very annoying if you type up broken words and mix it with Internet short hands.
Plus you seriously can't spell "What" and "Don't"?
