08 Transmission flush

I have 23,000 and either pull a trailer or push snow so i figure its better to be safe than sorry and have it flushed. I read it should be a hot flush or its not good. I also read I can do it myself at home.
Given my choice isn't any type (warm or not) of flush better than the one i would perform in my driveway? The cost of a flush at a garage is $200 tax included worth it or not?

With that kind of mileage, I would just drain the pan and change the external filter. I do it every 10K miles to mine and the fluid at 72K miles still looks as good as the day the truck was new.
