If you’re a contractor or tradesperson, chances are you’re having sheet goods delivered to the job site by a supply house, unless it’s a tiny project/service call. My electricians have pipe racks on their work vans, but if they’re buying 5,000 feet of 3/4” conduit (10’ sticks), you better believe a box truck will deliver it. If they need 40 feet for a quick service call, that’s what the pipe racks are for. I agree with you though, the ability to move sheet goods flat in a truck bed is almost completely unnecessary. If you really want to do this in a 5’ bed pickup, you can get a rack for above the cab and a crossbar with two posts that installs into the topper mounting holes near the tailgate to provide a 4’x8’ plane to carry sheet goods on. Here’s a universal example for $200, a nicer one meant for a specific truck is probably 3-4x more: https://wmastore.com/product/universal-drywall-plywood-mattress-truck-pickup-rack/?srsltid=AfmBOoovsxNYgRgCCWwavN7tcBg1QDYtvwGWxIGGYJ32M7dAniJckTdt https://wmastore.com/product/universal-drywall-plywood-mattr...
