I still have my truck. If I need it its there. It most cases if it is a significant amount of material I plan to use my lumber yard for delivery. At $30/delivery its not worth my time to go get a bunch of materials anyway. I'd be losing money doing it. Planning ahead works well.How do yall who use vans haul a lot of material? Trailer?
Depends on what you mean by a lot and what type which would also mean amount of time... delivery is the cheapest option for most every delivery when you consider time to go, pick, checkout, load, drive to the site and unload.... not to mention gas...How do yall who use vans haul a lot of material?

You see... that's why I need to work on getting my post lengths down... you beat me to the punch... :whistlingI still have my truck. If I need it its there.

Van looks nice, but that garage looks mint!Got the ladder rack on last night. Gonna have to adjust the side door to clear the bracket, other than that I'm really happy with the kargo master pro II rack.
It's my dad's pride and joy. Has another bay same size as what you see beside it that is cold storage.Van looks nice, but that garage looks mint!
Right now height is very tight. If I had to much speed when I hit the concrete bump going into the garage I think I could pop it up and get really close to hitting.Looking good bubba!! so how did you make out for height? can you still fit in your garage?
You'd be surprised how much material you can get into a one ton extended. These vans are a couple inches taller, and plywood can be loaded on edge. I can get 14' lengths in with the door closed if I manuever properly. Getting the material out can be an issue if you over do it though.How do yall who use vans haul a lot of material? Trailer?
I'm not sure how much I'll end up using the rack on the van. The rack on my pickup is a lot more convenient because I can reach where ever I need to when putting stuff up there/strapping/etc. With this van, it is way up there and you can reach it easily. Oh well. Can't have the best of both worlds.You'd be surprised how much material you can get into a one ton extended. These vans are a couple inches taller, and plywood can be loaded on edge.

My least favorite thing to haul is scaffolding. I can squeeze about 4 bucks in at a time and get them out with some difficulty. Strapping them on top is also an option, but my rack is not as nice as Spencers, and they are still a pain to take down.
