Heh. I was picking up some lumber to build stairs for a remodel. After hitting the actual lumber yard and getting some good lumber for the wall paneling, I rolled into home depot and surprisingly found a really nice panel of radiata that *gasp* was actually flat. So thinking I'd use it for one of my 20 table saw sled projects in the future I grabbed it and threw it on a cart. (It ended up turning into the running boards for the stairs.)

I get the rest the dimensional stuff and head out to my car. I wheel up this 3'x10' panel and a couple of 10' 2X12's to my car, and old timer parked next to me gets out of his truck, chuckling as he looks at my Mazda3 coupe, "Wha-cha gunna do now, junior?"

FFS geezer, I'm damned near 50. I pop open my truck, pull out a set of collapsible saw horses and my circular saw with a 5 amp hour battery, rip the pannel into 2 parts, cut the 2X12's in half, tossing each piece in a stack in my trunk with the seat down, collapse my tools and toss them in the trunk and pop it down. Old dude is standing there slack jawed and I reply, "Modern problems, modern solutions." with a smile that would make Chapel proud.

Looks like this guy needs to trade in his 40 year old-faithful wired Skil-Saw for a handy portable and break down his lumber in the parking lot.

If you know where your rough cuts are you can reduce your waste at the end. Just cutting in half could yield long off-cuts.

I do know you can fit 12' 2"×4"s in a jeep jku if you're alone lol :lol:

16' 2"×12"s in my truck through the rear slider.

22’ 2x12’s …. Drive over the top of them and strap’em up to the bumpers . Just as easy to unload. Ohh I forgot to mention that was a 80’ model econo line ford so it actually had bumpers.
