Assuming you are talking about a newly used, petroleum barrel with 2" ding hole and vent, sitting on something like a concrete slab and the truck supported such that it can't push them over, fill them to the top with water and antifreeze solution if need be and seal them up tight. The water will equalize the pressure distribution due to the weight of your truck and the bands around the drums will aid in the containment pressure....reason for their existance. I've seen it done before with empty barrels, but not supporting an F250.
On worrying about putting pressure on the barrel with it being completely full, go to "https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/cubical-expansion-coefficients-d_1262.html" and look at the coefficient of thermal expansion of water...last item in first table....aka don't worry about it.
Agree with other posters comments, on seeing them stacked and the stacked ones weren't completely full....aka 5 gallon (volume) of air space at the top for the petroleum contents to change volume with temp and air compresses....aka possibly allowing the barrel to collapse in that area.....water doesn't compress so there won't be that potential if completely full.......check out some of the pictures of supplies sitting on Pacific Island beaches during WWII. or ships holds when the cargo was troop support supplies.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
