Most Memorable Load?

That would be pretty cool. I dont think I would answer them all truthfully because I dont want to hear #### from the self righteous ones who like to stand high and mighty on their pedestals. But I definitely have some stories I could tell.

I was thinking the same thing. #5 doesn't apply but the rest I had better keep quiet about.

 

The load of store fixtures I took from Omaha to NYC , when I got there they wouldn't unload them cause I didn't have a union card .
Went to motel in Jersey and sat on the detension clock for 2 days , on day 3 dispatch said bring em back to Omaha and drop the trailer at the plant .
2 weeks later picked up same trailer and load and delivered it in Jersey .

 

Picked up sealed trailer with matching paperwork in St Paul MN loaded with empty aluminum cans going to Bennington VT .
Got to Bennington , broke seal opened doors and trailer was empty ...oooppps.

 

Well let's start with #1.
I must insist that the mods make this an adults only thread.
Best madman. I think to qualify for best madman load needs to have covered 900 miles or better in a 24 hour period, multi day loads included, at least one day
Here are two that stick out in my mind, you guys decide which earns the title, for me.

1) P/U Kennewick, WA Friday 2300 Local - 44K Frozen curly fries. Time of year = Autumn
Deliver to Easton, ME Wednesday 0700 Local ( Reload was in Easton @ 1000 same place )

2) P/U McKinney, TX Thursday 1600 ( 4 stops / 3 need to be accomplished before shut down on Friday afternoon ) 41K Product Very High Value so will remain classified. Time of year = Winter
1st Stop = Hannibal, MO / 2nd Stop = St, Joseph, MO / 3rd Stop = Sioux City, IA by 1700 Friday.



This is my trip meter for #2. I also won $10 from my cousin as he said me & Blackie ( My white Volvo ) would not get the load off.

To some of you this song will make perfect sense, some of you will go what's he talking about.

 

Just wait it will come lol.

 

Most memorable... grossing 210k with a 132' bridge beam and taking it over Homestake pass and losing an intake actuator on the way up. Asked the pilot car to give me a push.

Scariest was a 42k box culvert standing upright on a flatbed. Looked in my right hand mirror and the tires were 6" off the ground. Talk about an oh crap moment. Took two bounces but I got her settled down. I am just thankful that was a spring ride trailer instead of an air ride on that one. The corner on the interstate did not look that sharp but apparently it was for that load.
