The most ridiculously expensive equipment you've hauled.

A while back, someone posted a picture of a driver that chained down a jet engine by throwing the securement over the top. I remember cringing, then laughing. I saw a guy do THt before. I was at the ATL airport picking up a $14m Rolls Royce engine, and another driver was securing an engine and he threw a chain over the top of it. I was in his face, "What in hell do you think you're doing???? Get that chain off the top of that engine!!!" He didn't know. A freakin chain!

 

Reminds me when I first started hauling crane booms, they had to tell drivers to use straps.

 

I hauled a final drive assembly for a large excavator in the back of my service truck. Was worth a little more than $60k from what I was told.

 

If You as a driver get all sweaty and nervous about the size and/or the value of the load.. you shouldn't be hauling it. When a person "over thinks" the situation you will inherently make misteaks..

 

Ok. What do I win?

 

The most expensive I've hauled was two pallets of iphones valued at two million I think?? I think that's what the insurance was, I can't remember the value. But I can't see a pallet of iphones costing a million. If you took 1 million divided by say $600 per unit. You get 1667 units. I don't think each pallet had that many, but I'm always bad at the guessing jar game.

 

Sometimes one, sometimes two of these.
Depending on the engine and model the price runs between $13/$18 million each.

In a trailer, $750,000. In the truck a little more than $1,000,000.
