What is the cheapest monetary value of a load that you have hauled? Not the cheapest rate but the value of the cargo? The cheapest that I have hauled on a regular basis is $350 and that is 34,000 lbs of formed concrete blocks, the big 2x2x6 ones that they make with left over concrete from jobs.
We'e done high $ loads, how about low $ loads

I'm not sure of the actual value of the freight, but it was an Amazon load of perhaps a dozen very small boxes.
-
8 cement blocks 2x2x3. Several times even. Every time I hauled them I got $1375 or better. After the first time I pointed out they could have them poured on site and thrown in a dumpster every time they needed them @ cheaper than the freight... they haven't called lately: lol maybe they do that now.
-
Around here those half blocks cost $25 a piece. So that was $200 worth of concrete.
-
A single slot machine in a 53ft dry van from Chicago to Edmonton. Customs papers said it was worth $2,600 (made in China), freight was $4,500.

Wow, and I bet they made their money on the machine and freight bill back in a week, don’t ya think?
-
We hauled some dirt from a construction site to a farmer's stockpile.
The dirt was free. The trucking cost seventy dollars a load. -
I don’t haul it, but chicken litter is free and those guys make a pretty penny hauling it for farmers since it has high ammonia content. It saves them a fortune instead of buying 25 tons of fertilitizer so the farmers pay well to bring it in.

Mine was likely a negative value. Picked up a trailer load of rejected latex gloves from the manufacture and took it to a landfill.
