Try a 4X8 sheet of plywood in a SWB Ford truck, then place a heavy toolbox on top of it thinking it will hold the plywood stable.

Pull out on the road to accelerate and the fun begins when everything slides right out of the truck bed and onto the road.... Fortunately, no one was coming up behind quickly.

Oh man. What a mess.

And can be worst. Here I saw a guy pulling a trailer lose his whole bundle of plywood sheets as he left the lumberyard in the middle one of the busiest streets in the area. Traffic was dodging him and the plywood as he tried reloading the plywood. Got to remember to properly secure your load.

And one time I had a thin sheet of gypsum board fly off a truck, stood up on end, and I drove right thru it as I didn't even have time to dodge it. Got lucky that it was a thin sheet.
