    I don't believe I have ever heard the term "gaylord" before. I assume a bin of some sort like watermellons are hauled in, but they would have to be well vented.

    Hopefully I don't regret asking; what's a gaylord?

    This looks about like the ones I haul fairly frequently. I deliver to a few plastics manufacturers who get pelletized raw material in these.

    We hated Gaylords at the post office during the holiday season. Overfilled and old, crumple while you're either unloading them or while you're driving.

    Like @Oxbow mentioned, onions need to breathe. They will digest themselves if you don't keep air moving while in transit. That's why you see them only top tarped on a flatbed. We used to haul them in a dry van at Poly, but they needed to be vented plus the onions were in mesh super sacks so they could breathe. A gaylord wouldn't give enough air movement.

    I wish I had a dollar for every one of those plastic pellet gaylords I delivered when I lived in SoCal.

    Saw about 40-50 sacks of onions today on the side of the Ohio Turnpike, eastbound side around Sandusky. May have fallen off someone's flatbed.
