Most Interesting Load

I hauled a load of racehorses to chicago ohare drove right into a cargo building put them in special crates and right up onto the plane

 

Yes for 13 years off and on. It's safer than you think. I'd rather haul nukes over regular bombs (mk82,83,84's) any day of the week. There's alot of safety rules and alot of eyes watching but we you get it down it's fun. And you're welcome.

 

Heck of a deal ??
I haul shredded documents from several places that are always bailed,only time I ever went vert was with potatoes.

 

Let's see here, in a hopper it would be pitch. Yellow powder that when you get it wet it turns into black tar. Unloaded in South Carolina in the summer time. Wife made me strip to the skin before I could get back into the truck.

Like Peanut Butter I have also hauled roof trusses on a 70ft extending roller trailer. Once got routed across a 16 1/2 foot wide girder frame bridge with 15ft 4in trusses. A darn slow drive it was too.

In a dry van, I hauled a quarter million dollar milling machine from TX to WA only to unload it in one dock, drive around to the opposite side of the building and reload the same machine for a trip to MN.

In a refer I have hauled insulin, hides, and a baby whale. Not all at the same time of course.

 

Are you serious? The same exact machine that you brought from WA? Talk about a waste of fuel. Take from WA all the way south to TX then straight north to MN. You think in shipping costs the one buying it in mn could've gotten it cheaper in WA.

 

LavenderTrucker,

does your company hire in SW Ohio area?

 

Ive seen 2 interesting loads hauled by other drivers, one was in nevada on highway 6 out of ely, the 2 big tanks that had a truck in front and 2nd truck in back pushing so they could get up hill, man those were big tanks, both were full of sludge oil to be processed into more fuel. The other load was a flatbed and he had 2 big wooden horse statues on his trailer, they were like clydesdale statues huge, was interesting to see anyway.

 

brick....stop posting pics of my truck

shesh man


LOL

 

Well, ive got a top three..... Hauled cr6 (subase gravel) for adriveway to a house being redone by the tv show Extreme Home Makeover when they were in town........... more better hauled cr6 to the DC area, to be used for jogging path for president Bush (jr) when he was in office... still cant tell ya where that was ...... But my all time favorites were hauling remaned tanks to the port, then they were off to the dessert... I sure miss that deal.... #### cut throught brokers, and the big boys that haul for nothin.... Best part about those loads was that we got to unload them our self, nobody ever tailgated ya, and no bubbles no troubles at the scale house!

 

brinkj23, yep it's the truth. The TX and the WA outfits were the same company. It was hinted at that "in transit" items didn't have to show up on anyones inventory as the truck driver essentially owns the item when he signs for it. An accounting gimmick to the tune of a few thousand dollars. The actual customer in MN paid the freight from WA to MN. Whether or not the inventory thing is true I know I had that machine alone on the truck for 8 days.
