    Been there done that have the T-shirt lol. Also before anyone asks. The load i dropped was just overcooked. Its the same product. That said some of these rural deliverys you show up and gotta go WTF.

    Dont have a photo but one of the more up there ones i did recently is i had to do a blind 180 degree back around a blind corner to a literal cliff with a good 30 foot drop and the only "stop" being a few old cinderblocks right at the edge. That one was pretty wtf worthy.

    Some of the shippers are pretty crazy too.
