Hauling boxes vinyl siding suv
I have a trailblazer and need to get 2 boxes 4 square from home depot to my house. I can open back window and take front passenger side head rest off and can fit up to the dash 9 feet with 3 feet sticking out the back of truck. I have 2 questions. Do I transport boxes standing up on long edges so not to buckle and do I need to put a 2x12 under the boxes and tie with rope to support? I hate to pay 70 dollars for delivery every time I need a few boxes. Thank you.

Put a 2x12x12' under it and lay it flat. Also tie them up or put a ratchet strap around the 2x12 so that they can't slide off when you go around a corner.

On edge would be stronger if you have a way of securing the boxes vertical. Securely wrapping the protruding end of the box with stretch wrap will also help make it stronger.

I built most of my house out of a 1969 Bronco. Most every time I went to the lumber yard I purchased two 12'-16' 2xs and slid them under the front seats. I then loaded whatever long material I needed on top of those 2xs and tied it down.
