The idea of bringing groceries home in the back of a truck doesn’t seem appealing to most people. The mind’s eye goes almost immediately to boxes of cereal or biscuits blowing in the wind; possibly ending up on the side of the road. Heavy items are likely to completely crush and destroy items like potato chips or bread.
Weather is another factor when transporting food in the back of the truck. Plastic shopping bags only work to a limited extent to help protect items from the rain. The boxes will get soggy, ruining the contents quickly. The solution is quite simple and inexpensive.
Install these 3 items
Truck Bed Liner – A non-slip surface is perfect for large items like dog food or boxes of bottled water. A bed liner will also keep other items in place. You will help keep all the grocery items in place with the help of the next item on the list; the grocery hugger.
An added benefit of installing a bed liner is that it will protect the paint on the truck bed. Many times, the box is the first to be damaged and rusted because people just throw things in the back of the truck without regard to scratching the paint. A bedding will help protect against damaged paint and rust.
Grocery Hugger: This little device is designed to hug up to 15 grocery bags and keep them securely in place. It works in your trunk, floorboards, or in the back of your truck. Just put the bags where they need to be, tighten the hugger around them, and snap the velcro in place.
A great alternative to grocery huggers is the installation of bullrings and a grocery hammock. Just tie either side of the supermarket hammock to the bullrings and your groceries will be close at hand when you stop. A bed liner may not be required if you use a hammock as all of your items will be resting in the hammock instead of sitting in the truck bed.
Truck Topper – A topper gives the truck a sleek, SUV-like appearance. Offers a weather resistant cover for anything that needs to be transported in the back of a truck. A topper is the perfect solution to waterproof the truck bed.
Benefits of a Truck Topper
Transporting other items such as mulch or furniture is precarious in bad weather conditions. It seems that we can never trust meteorologists again; Put that theory to the test by planning a motorcycle ride or outdoor event. A shower is likely to appear at the worst possible time. A truck topper keeps all the items in your truck bed dry and safe, no matter how hard it rains or how hard the wind blows.
Never worry about transporting dry goods again
Those three items don’t cost a fortune and will make packing groceries in the truck bed a breeze. No more worrying about spilled bags when you get home; or lost or destroyed items. Keep your grocery items safely in place in the back of the truck without spending a fortune on another car or SUV.
