    They are a major pita.....imo.
    Tarp.....untarp sometimes a few times a day. They need to breath, but not get wet. They are stacked on pallets. Sometimes they wrap them, sometimes not. Either way though, they tend to settle with the movement/vibration of the road. Sometimes they fall ro one side and you have to restack them. Other times they will ride the whole way without issue. When you have to throw straps over sacks of veggies(?) It kinda sucks. Pretty much no good way of doing it. This is all my opinion of course.

    The big issue... if you have a unexpected storm and can't get your tarps down in time. Now you've got a claim and a big headache. I haven't seen any paying enough to make it worth the risk.

    Dump truck is the perfect way to haul them and get rich - with the least amount of brain damage.

    roll the tarp over or unroll it as weather dictates. Don’t need no stinking’ pallets - don’t care if they settle or lean. Then when they give lip at the produce market or grocery warehouse about limpets to unload - give’m the old watch this and a middle finger ….
