Weirdest place to deliver?

I dont get it, why would you give your DM an earful, Driving the truck and docking is your job, Job well done, but none the less your job.

 

In the middle of the road at a trailer park. Oh, wait....the question wasn't about delivering a baby....

Well, in truckin', it wasn't a delivery, it was a pickup. In a farmer's dooryard in the middle of BFE Wyoming and I had to run a squirrel trail up a tree to get there, then turn around in his muddy driveway.

 

I had one of these strange ones too.I was in Vancouver B.C. I am getting a pre loaded trailer.It was a full load of peanut butter in jars going to...wait for it...











Georgia!! We don't grow peanuts in Canada as-far as I know.US Customs was just as confused as I was & I had to back up to their dock to be inspected.

Another time I took a full load of Buoys to Huston TX A full load at 5000lbs and only three of them in the trailer. But thats all that would fit.

 

This doesn't have anything to do with the tread but you have a really nice looking truck.

 

i delivered at the marengo warehouse in Indiana, pretty cool place located inside a limestone mine, its huge and the corridors are wide enough in places to do a u-turn with a 53ft trailer.....

 

Actually when I worked as a police officer in Lithonia, GA, we had a potato chip company in town and when the trailers came in loaded with potatoes they unloaded them in the same manner. I've also seen it done like that at the Nestle/Libby Pumpkin plant in Morton, IL too!

 

The weirdest load I've ever hauled was a 350lb pallet of Hamburger Helper in burlap sacks from a foods warehouse between Dixon, IL and Rochelle, IL to a packaging plant in St. Charles, IL. My van stunk of Hamburger Helper for weeks.....and I run expedite in a cargo Van so I was really smelling the stuff!

 

A few other weird loads I've done:
1. In 2006 on Super Bowl Sunday, ran 1000lbs of frozen pizza dough from Domino's warehouse in Bolingbrook, IL to their warehouse in St. Peters, MO.
2. back in early '90s ran 800lbs of frozen fried chicken from a KFC warehouse in Atlanta, GA to a restaurant grand opening in suburban Pittsburgh, PA.
*these were expedite loads in a c/v and NO reefer!
3. 1000lbs of chocolate candy bars for fundraising for two groups: 500lbs delivered to Sullivan, IN to the bowling alley. The other 500lbs to the LaCrosse, WI highschool wrestling club.
4. My carrier used to have do emergency deliveries to Various Burger King restaurants in the midwest. I picked up from the distributor's warehouse in Bolingbrook, IL and I ran a 3 stop load of frozen burger patties to Carmel, IN, Jeffersonville, IN, and Louiseville, KY. *Definitely will never eat at BK again! Again a c/v load with no reefer!

 

Who does?...

 

Next time...Go and buy a pound of coffee. Sprinkle on the floor of your van or trailer. Smell goes away.
