Yes, smaller helicopters such as an R-22 or B206 can be placed on a truck and moved with out removing the rotor blades. Generally speaking the blades are removed to protect them and to make lifting the helicopter by crane a much eaiser task.
I have personally witnessed a Bell Jet Ranger helicopter not only transported on a flatbed trailer with rotor attached, but also watched them unload it by simply flying it off the trailer.
