You might use the cinder blocks, unload em and reload em after, I'm guessing that would last for the first two markets. After that you'll leave em in the truck.
So best advice, don't design anything in your display around the cinder block, that won't work unless you have it.
You're right- too heavy will end up left in the truck and not re-used. Wood blocks would be much lighter.

That's why I was thinking of the shelf/sign thing, since I would have to move it in then out, then in again to go home and out at home again, I wanted to make it lighter via halving it, and get use from it while at market.

Any other thoughts, improvements or ???? I am open to suggestions.
