Could you give us an estimate of how many plants you take in your truck?

When we were using a GMC Sonoma with a topper and double stacking using a
sheet of plywood, we could take about 25 flats and some pots stuck in here
and there, so the number of plants depended on the number of plants in a
flat and the cost of the plant.  It was an extended cab so we had plants in
the cab as well.  It often carried over $1000 in plants to market.  That's a
lot of money carried in a small truck!
