More information about your situation, risk tolerance, storage space, etc. would be needed to make a recommendation. Provide a summary of your situation and members of the forum will offer their insight. Good luck.

There are many companies that receive food products in steel and plastic barrels. There's one company in Nashville that makes candy bars and after talking to the warehouse manager I was able to pick up as many as I wanted. Didn't have to worry about any toxic chemicals.

Another important variable is fuel mileage.

Are you keeping a car for personal use, or does the truck take you everywhere? The bigger the truck, the more it costs to drive. This doesnt not matter so much when you are loaded, as generally the bigger the truck, the more money it is carrying into the scrap yard. It matters when you are driving to the store, your friends house, school, etc...
