You might be able to find the large size dog crates on Craigslist (or some such listing site) for cheap or free, they hose out easily and we fit 6 full sized heritage roosters per crate.
Ventilation is important - if they're in crates I would take the truck canopy off and as recommended above try to get the first slaughter of the day. Packing them up while they're sleeping is the least stressful way and transporting in the dark is easier on them too.
Good luck!
