on my roof rack or have them delivered.

 

Same here.

 

20' enclosed trailer.

 

For just a piece or 2 I can run it through the sliding back window onto the dash and strap it on the tailgate. Usually put them on my ladder racks on my trailer. 90% of the time I have them delivered, my millworks company delivers for free no matter how much or how little I order.

 

Usually had it delivered. If I had to pickup in a small truck, I'm sure I'd do some ghetto bungee cord/plastic wrap setup.

 

Folded in half

 

Bumper to bumper between the tires:thumbup:

 

I've seen that.......

Get a lumber rack for that Ranger. Also get so shrink wrap and make sure you shrink wrap the very front of the stack. If you don't get the very front you might be missing a couple feet of trim when you get to the job.:laughing:

 

I did that once. Only had a little ways to go with some mdf crown, hit a few dips in road just right to get it moving up and down and lost the front of half my crown.

 

If you have a way to carry a 16' long ladder, you have a way to carry 16' trim with no flopping. :whistling:

 

That's what I do. :thumbsup:

 

Delivered or in my 16 foot trailer. If I don't have the trailer and only need a few pieces I stick it through the sliding glass window(crew cab truck) and leave it up on the tailgate.

 

Came across these pouches awhile ago & thought they looked interesting for protecting trim from the weather when it was being carried on ladder racks. Haven't bitten yet, but may do so down the road.

 

without cutting in my Sprinter

 

I'm planning on getting into finish carpentry so I'm not sure how to accommodate for 12' & 16' baseboards. How do you guys usually carry them?

If you are able to, get an account set up with a couple of millwork places around you.

No matter how I've run the #'s, it's almost always been cheaper to have stuff delivered.

The only times where it hasn't been is when you need a stick NOW, for whatever reason, i.e. running short a stick for finishing up a job, you under-estimated, more waste than you accounted for, etc.

With a rack for the truck/trailer you're fine...but I would recommend having materials delivered if you've got the time.

If you're a one-man show, small material deliveries may not be cost-effective due to you having to spend time meeting the delivery guys, that's fine too.

 

Lumber yard delivers for free since I have a credit acct with them.
Otherwise I put lumber on ladder racks on side of trailer ( if I need something in a hurry)

 

I think home depot will cut them in half for you at no charge. :whistling

 

good idea

 

sub it out

 

Get a bigger truck :laughing: or a rack.. or if u get a account at a yard they will take care of the transportation for you if you buy enough.

 

Just curious.....but how do you deliver your cabinetry?

 

Very carefully with an assortment of moving blankets and random couch cushions in the back of my van.

I don't know how guys with pickups do it. Do anything actually. Although if somebody made a extended crew cab pickup with an 8 foot bed and cap I'd be all over it.

 

Also get so shrink wrap and make sure you shrink wrap the very front of the stack. If you don't get the very front you might be missing a couple feet of trim when you get to the job.:laughing:

I once saw a 100 sticks of 6" crown loose 4 feet in 2 seconds at 80 mph. Luckly it wasnt me and i wasnt by the mess

 

best thing I have found to haul trim is a homemade "T" I build years ago out of 2" square tubing. slides into my hitch reciever and projects out 4' then goes up to whatever height needed with a "T" on top. Trim goes under tool box sits on my tailgate with it closed then to the "T", bungee it off and your good. When your done pull the "T" out and stick it in the bed. I have never lost a load and I have on a latter rack. 6' bed and 4' extention leaves 4' hanging out. might not work on a small Ranger.

 

I put it over my headache rack and tail gate, belly wrap it with ratchet straps, and tape or wrap the end over my headache rack with packing wrap. Use a red flag on the end over the tail gate. :thumbsup:

headache rack, fail gate, it must be a ford!! :jester:

 

Yep. F150 crew cab

 

Just rest them on the mirror and tuck the other end into the bed the best you can..

 

Just get a rack....look on CL if you have no money. You can pick them up for a few hundred bucks... I had one on my Ranger and used to to carry everything from Azek to sheet goods.

 

I must be spoiled because my millwork guy does the take off for me as well as delivery. I just tell him the address.

 

If you have an 8' bed then you can also pick up a couple of 16' 2x6's and lay your trim on that hanging over the closed tailgate, tie the trim to the 2x6's and put some weight (tubes of sand whatev) on the end against the front of the bed by the cab.

Ladder racks are far better but it works in a pinch, done it many times; just make sure to tie the load off well both for side to side and rearward movement.
