    I have two for you.
    1. Last year, I took an infrared and radar type system to Nogales, AZ from Charleston, SC that is being used for border security. I had to drive 17 miles down a dirt road along the border to a hillside where it was to be set up on a cell type tower.
    2. I hauled the Halloween Spooktacular attraction from Tuscon to Six Flags America in Landover, Md for the 2012 Halloween season.

    Expedite load, radioactive seeds for prostate cancer treatment. About 8 little lead lined boxes on a skid delivering roughly 60 miles away to a sterilizer, then back to the factory.

    The weirdest thing i ever picked up was a Helicopter landing system for some Carrier ship. Picked it up in Northern WI and delivered it to Dover AFB.
