    I have spent hours thinking on the plastic bypass for this load.

    What do you think that amount of good plastic will cost you for a roll sufficient in volume to line that box or reefer trailer.

    I have no idea. It must be measured. Also it's going to be hard to find good plastic in Blythe, CA .

    With that I think the answer is still no. lol might cost you half that pay and the fuel the rest.

    Seems like more issues can arise then what its worth, that said if they were in small containers of some kind and it was easy to close the container and sealed well I would but seems what I am thinking a flatbed would be a better choice.

    Wasted 2 hours at Blue Beacon once.
    Got stuck behind a trailer wash out. Floor load of carrots. That was nasty. Filled 6 trash cans of gunk.
    Hurts the brain thinking about what a wash out would be like from a load of gypsum.
    No way I would do that.

    back in early 2000's when I had a reefer and I was running between CA and CO I did few bulk carrots loads from Alamosa, CO to Bakersfield area. Once I waited a day to get loaded . Washout was easy because reefer has aluminum floor. Receiver did washout. Carrots were almost clean, prewashed.
