Stupidest load
A load of bottled beer (can't remember where exactly I loaded now... Somewhere in the mid west). Shipper requested a dry van, load was going to Idaho... In January! I called ahead to shipper and told them that it was below zero in the Rockies and that I could get a refer but would have do divert 2 hours out of the way... They said no... Dry van was fine. So I notified dispatch... Was essentially told customer knows best. So I loaded, noted all previous conversations and orders on the bol, and headed west. 2 nights later I pull into Laramie Wyoming in -20 degree weather. I shook my head as I walked past the trailer headed in for a shower... I could hear the bottles bursting inside. Next day I arrive at the receiver, they popped the doors and started yelling... I handed them the bol and pointed out my notes. An hour later dispatch called me and I was diverted to a glass recycler. Lol.... Cant fix stupid I guess.
what was the WORST or CRAZIEST thing you have ever hauled?

I dunno, the one with the load of beer bottles freezing and then being told to head to a glass recycler is great as well !!!
