    I've never hauled them, but believe they may be in my future.

    How difficult could it be?

    It depends, are they in crates, or in sacks on pallots?

    Wait until you *un*load. LOL (They used to let you stay in the truck if you really wanted to, now I think the insurance companies say no.)

    Whoops. Please disregard my earlier comment. I thought you were talking about the covered wagon/sidekit thing & loose onions.

    I have hauled them, it has been 6 years, I dont know if it was the leagal or right way, but I tarped em first, then strapped em down. If the pallots were shrink wraped I would have just strapped em then tarped em, but they were loose stacked.

    I know the guys who haul em a lot have special boards they use that go on the corners so you can get the straps tight.
