Put them behind the cab sideways. Tie down with bungees.

Just across the frame? We dont have cat walks anymore I would worry that wouldnt be secure enough.

Sure. Run long bungees down around the frame rail, then back up. Just make sure to clear any lines, tubes or wires.
I once threw away 12 brand new load bars, used once by Wayfair. Their load was packed with them. From Wayfair to Wayfair and they left them in the trailer, said they didn't want them. I had no use for them either so I left them at a clean out station for Westrock.

We haul soooooooo much beer that gets dropped at yards or terminals that it's basically impossible for me to run out. As of right now I just counted and I have 23 sets, lol. I have two totes I pull from consistently and two more on my passenger side of my side box I probably havent opened for a year until today. Now load bars are a different story I only have one. And our trucks dont have the load bar holders on the cab anymore so I gotta store them in the side box. Unless someone can recomend a way to secure them without the plastic holders.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
