Ya, alot of guys make bait carrying systems for their trucks. I never transported herring long distances. I always got my canal herring at Middleboro, Wareham, The canal, or Mashpee river, So I wasn't on the road travelling more tan 20-30 minutes. I suppose if you made a good bait live well system and went to
the Weymouth run, you could transport them to the canal. About the only time I fish right at the run itself is when I'm able to get herring right there. If you get 3 or 4 permits, you could get herring any of those 4 places at various times of the day. When I am able to get herring somewhere else, I usually fish somewhere (in the canal) besides the run. When the bass are feeding on herring in the canal, you don't have to fish right there (it is a convienience to be able to get your fish right there and just walk a short distance to start fishing though). I think if I got herring at Weymouth I'd fish closer to someplace in Weymouth or just bring them to the canal and fish chunks. Ever fish the point at Webb state park?
