Weirdest place to deliver?

Mines in Carthage, been there.

Strange loads? Picked up a load of O.J. once, OK not strange but I picked up in Canada and delivered in Florida. Wrong way A?

 

I took Fla. oranges to Cally and Cally oranges back to Fla.
Something to do with the difference between eating and juicing. I'd forgotten all about it until this thread.

 

To a mine??
Not at all, I was delivering Styrofoam concrete forms to a new house being built right at the top of the mountain, I had to drive past the drive, then back up the steep driveway.
Funny thing; the concrete guy was pissed cause I wouldn't move for him. He wasn't going to pour much concrete anyway, because the forms hadn't been placed yet.

 

I got a little worried when we drove across the tarmac. What's the height clearance of a plane? When we drove across the runway I wondered what I'd do if I saw a plane coming in !

 

A trip through the Chunnel from England to France. Our truck drove onto a platform and then into an enclosed box car. 40 odd minutes later we're in France. Really neat. I wasn't driving the rig. I was visiting relatives and decided to ride along with my Scottish cousin who drives 'Artics' or 'Lorries" (read: tractor trailers) all over western Europe. Cool experience.

 

Delivered Fuel Oil while was Debriefing out of the AF in 1985, was a 4 month deal, While filling tanks in the Officers housing, a couple of the wives put on a nudity show in the Picture windows. Kinda took this flyboy by surprise!

 

Not realy weird but kinda unusual, i delivered a load of trees and shrubs to a big fancy house in one of those fancy ritzy subdivisions where the houses are over 500.000 dollars and the yuppy wives all go for a walk together and exercise, my big semi looked realy out of place with all the high priced cars and SUVs there, got some nasty looks from some of the people that lived there also.

 

ok...

grain on a flatbed from baker, mt to lewiston, id.....big ramp there, they raise everything up to a front bumper hieght of about 40 feet, and let it all run out the back

12" water pump and some irriagtion pipe to a ranch way south of cody, wy....so he could pump out his new basement to pour the concrete

im sure i'll think of a few more thet made me stop and think.....

 

This happpend to my best friend often.

Load Oranges in California. Take them to Florida,,, reload same place with same thing, only each orange was labled Florida Oranges,,, yet they were from Califorina.



Just like the cheeseloads i get often. load in CA,or ID, or NM, or UT. Run it to Wisconson, where it's packed as Wisconson Cheese.
