I have the opportunity to pick up some Maple slabs about 12 feet long for future projects. The only problem is they are 750 miles away from me. Getting myself there is not a problem, but how to transport them? They are roughly 36 inches wide and 2ish inches thick. I think they should be about 250-300 pounds each. I have a full size HD pickup, but only has a 6 foot bed. Suggestions? I would be willing to invest in a lumber rack but wasn't sure about transporting them that far at highway speeds on a rack like that. I have a 10-foot open trailer too, but even then seems these are too long.
Thanks
Martin
