      Yea you are? Sprinters or Crafters easily fit a stack of sheets, at least in the EU they do

      As in plasterboard sheets? I don’t see why not if hand loading, plenty of vans will fit a 2400x1200 sheet (my Transporter fitted a bunch of plywood with room to spare). Loading one with a forklift is harder due to no side access long enough to fit 2400mm but that’s a problem shared with tub back utes. If however your plasterboard pallet is side accessible a van with barn doors (like you’d buy if pallets were a priority) will allow you load it in fine.

      Most commercial vans are slightly over 2.4m long in the cargo area, which is the size of a standard sheet of wallboard. (1.2x2.4m).

      Mine will fit that comfortably.

                cupcake if you think that’s how I’m loading that into my truck you’re the idiot

                Did you know there’s actually space between the wheel tubs in the bed of that truck to set those boards down flat. And if your object is still a little wider than that you stack a couple of pallets underneath it to build up to level with the wheel tubs and then load it on top of those still within the bed rails and sides and wouldn’t necessitate having to try and do a side load like this. where your loading over the side you use a sling and don’t just use boards like a fucking idiot.
