I don't carry much hardware, and I split it all between a small rolling trap case, and a heavy duty hardware hardware bag. Over the years I've discovered that lifting one heavy case into the truck is not the way to go, and now my trap case is sorta light, and the bag is sorta light, so loading and unloading is easier on my body. The bag also travels on top of the rolling trap case when rolling into and out of the venues. Something to think about. From my teens to my thirties I had no problem exerting myself loading a big heavy trap case, now getting into my later 40s all that earlier lifting has taken its toll.
