I think you guys are reading way more into it than is actually there.  Simple question - simple answer - several douchey responses.

What's even worse, when he has no idea what he's talking about, but it involves something where he should know better, he pretends he's an expert.



Perfect explanation.

Why? What is the point in this?

Oh... I remember...

...Sigh...

I've done it in my small pickup both with the gate up and gate down.  Eather way I use a few bungee cords hooked to the rear of the bed diagonally across the sheets and one across the ends of the sheets. Works fine.  I guess it's not quite the same because in a small P/U you need to slide the sheets in so one side rests on a wheelwell. 

I agree use the gate up method and throw some bungees/rope/straps across it and at the end.

It is amazing how a topic about "how to secure plywood" can turn into a dickfest. MDF doesnt usually slide around it has a amazing ability to static cling to other pieces.

You say you're getting douchey responses?  Stop asking such incredibly douchey questions.  You asked how to move a piece of wood with a truck. 
What is that pappy?

Chadism:
Be sure to have 4 or more people help you load the mdf into the truck.  Chances are you will slip a disk and your work will be forced to suffer the consequences of your poor decision.





Note:  I'm trying to get better at the Debbie Downer thing.  It's hard to do, but he makes it look so easy.  It's like he's the Barry Bonds of negative, unneeded posts, but instead of steroids, he uses useless points to drive it home.
