$30 million, a van load of assorted Microsoft software for business. Server/workstation stuff. Some of that sold for over $2,500 just for a CD.
They used some two-bit broker that wasn't open on weekends to clear Canada Customs. So I put it in bond.
The most ridiculously expensive equipment you've hauled.

As a team we haul a lot of high value stuff. Mostly electronics.
jerezxp7 Thanks this. -
Picked up a machine used in the production of fighter jets, $60 mil. Legal load, had to rag it.
I always tell my drivers that there are only 2 safe places for loads:1Shipper 2Receiver.
Shipper gave me his cell number and wanted me to call if anything went wrong. I called the receiver to check their hours, and the receiver told me to call an hour before, because he would have someone meet me to open the gate and allow me to drop the trailer.
Some of the higher end places will have drivers lounge, hot food available, overnight parking...etc. You think, "Wow! I did not know....! All of this for drivers?" But again, the drivers that you see on the high end are not those nasty, smelly, disgusting creatures you see at a Loves. -
Cash registers for Walmart.
