Helped somebody deliver a few hundred pounds of lumber from Home Depot. He was trying to put all on his Honda CR-V.
Here's the pair of trucks just before leaving.
My custom rack works better than planned for dimensional lumber. It has right angle brackets that are held tight with 1/2 inch bolts. I leave a little space at a slight angle for a composite shim and hammer that sucker in there tight. The load stays perfectly in place. The cross bar is a little bit flexible and takes some shock when hitting bumps.
A close up of the system holding some baseboard. I've used a dozen methods to carry construction materials and nothing comes close to this one! I was surprised how well it dealt with the 16ft. lumber since the cross bars are not even 4ft. apart. I designed it to carry 10ft. long conduit or 4x8ft. sheet material.
