    I carried a box of screws in the passenger seat to Home Depot the other day. Lol dispatch said to tarp it. Nah I’m good. Got the tarp pay though.

    A drunk ex-girlfriend who I happened to run into. She asked if I'd drop her off at rehab.

    I should've faked a heart attack.

    You'd be astounded at how much some pharmaceuticals are worth.
    They usually don't #### around with any of that stuff either. I held a pharmacy tech license for several years, and some of the penalties/whatnot for even just messing something up are no picnic.

    Oh I dont doubt the cost at all, I have seen prescriptions that cost several hundred for a single small supply and that 1 pallet could be worth more than any of our yearly salary. It still amazes me see something so small hauled in a 53 foot trailer though. Seems they could of done maybe one of those small FedEx trucks or something.

    It just amazes me the prices they can put on a pill or even the difference between brand and generic with the same exact ingredients. I think there should be more government control and regulation in pricing but will never happen with all the money that gets thrown around.
     
    DeepSouthRollin Thanks this.

    No, it didn't. It just wasn't worth commenting on. :)

    The strangest thing I have ever hauled is a refer with 50 human cadavers from a collection facility in Southern California to a distribution facility for Medical Schools in Chicago. They were in some sort of fluid to keep them preserved, which made the load placarded as HazMat and BioHazard.
    I will never forget driving into the Arizona scale on I-40, stopping, and being asked "What are you hauling?" as I am handing him the paperwork. He paused for a good 15 seconds when I said "A trailer full of dead bodies". He then grabbed the paperwork, looked at it, and just said "Don't crash in Arizona, I don't want to read about bodies being strewn all over the highway, and it's your lucky day, I was going to pull you in for inspection, but I don't like dead things at my scale, get out of here".
