    I walk in the door for shipping/receiving and this company has this as a light switch, which I thought was very unprofessional until I read my bills

    Dry van, when working in WA... taking an LTL load from Seattle to Houston, got an add-on... from Spokane. I hauled a Japenese Zero (WW 11) engine from WA to Eagle Pass, TX - went to a very nicely gated "ranch" that had very nice buildings, and a bunch of guys in black SWAT-style fatigues in black Ford Expeditions patrolling around... it was a personal airport.

    We were asked to supply a taut liner trailer (trailer with canvas sides) to be used in a procession in an annual day of celebration in the city we operate from.We were asked to drop the trailer at a location 2 days before the procession for decoration, then collect it on the day.We were then to take it as a float in the hour long procession.
    A few drivers heard about this and volunteered for the job. We were paid good money up front and I thought the publicity could do no harm.
    The day before the procession our accountant came in to the office and asked why we had received a payment from "GLLO". I replied that they had hired a truck and trailer from us to be used as a float. She asked me if I had any Idea what "GLLO" was.
    Turned out I didn't, "GLLO" is the Gay and Lesbians Liberation Organisation.
    All of a sudden all the volunteer drivers evaporated.
    For a while it looked like I would have to do it as I still drove from time to time.
    Eventually a driver was brave enough.
    He was heckled by the other drives.
    "If you get a flat don't bend over to change it" and the like.
    The whole trailer was set up like a ramp at a strip joint.
    Mirror balls from the roof , pole dancing poles , smoke machine the whole nine yards.

    The load , the freakiest bunch of screaming queens you could imagine.
    Scream they did.

    Not weird really.

    I drove up to a place in 'Bama. Asked if they wanted the axles full rear or what? They said just put it at the door.

    Never felt a ramp or forklift and somebody came and got me.

    One pallet with a 160# box on it. Took it to Houston drop yard for hometime.

    Only slightly weird, a truck load of porcelin "APPLIANCES" for Crane in Kali.
