Weirdest place to deliver?

I didn't actually run this load, but I know a guy who picked up a reefer load of "chicken frames." It's what's left after the Colonel has taken his share, packed in tubs of 2000 lbs or so. The shipper iced the trailer down (reefer running at -10 deg,) picked up in AR and headed for MS - so it's really hot out - still wasn't enough to freeze this crap. So the goo from the chicken is leaking into the melting ice, and spraying all over the road! Now for the killer... the shipper the truck and the goo all stinks to high heaven of chicken guts! The only saving grace is that the cab is in the front of this mess going down the road, so the stink and the goo is behind you!

Yuk!

 

I delver some loads of blood meal with hopper bottom . It's nothing but dehydrated blood from rendering plants . It's really dusty and gets all over the truck when loading . I ran into rain once right after loading and blood was running off the truck everywhere . I was on my way to VT once and a NY female DOT inspector decided she'd do a Level 1 - until she saw the bills and asked me what blood meal was . I told her I was carrying 25 tons of dehydrated blood and she sent me on my way .
There are NO hopper loads out of the NE and I deadheaded all the way back to PA for a load of stone .

 

It was 20 years ago for me, but do you still have to drag your wagon over all the curbs in Savannah? I'm talkin' about a 4' cut while only pulling a 48'.

 

Delivered a skid of cardboard Cremetory boxes to a local Funeral home. as i was unloading, the woman waiting to sign the delivery reciept asks me" i hope all that wood isnt for us, can you take it with you?" there was a stack of ply wood strips 2'X7'. so i took them with me and dumped them in a dumpster behind the mall where my next stops were. 2 hours later my dispatcher calls and asked if there was wood missing froma prior delivery. had to crawl in the dumpster and get the wood and reload it and bring it back to the Funeral home. The wood was used to lay inside the boxes and the bodies lay on top of the wood. Welcome to the world of LTL.

 

Load of beef byproducts (YUK!) out of the Cargill plant in Plainview TX, bound for some #### place in AR... along with boxed beef for TX. The crap on the nose in the tubs peed blood everytime I stopped - at least a pint if not more. First time I saw it, I was walking back to the truck from a truckstop, and wondered, "Why is my drive tire bleeding!"

Ain't no mystery no more... I know WHAT "Mystery Meat" is, and I ain't touchin' it!

 

Old Onaway Cheese Factory in Onaway MI made Cheese for WI also.... We also made the Pinconning cheese

 

While we're on the subject of the weirdest loads, I used to deliver mail to post offices. I would collect mail from the post offices on the way back that had to be sent out to the bigger cities as well. One day I was picking up the mail and there was a red and white thermos cooler sitting on top of a bunch of mail (at least I thought it was a cooler) I figured it was part of someones lunch so I grab it and low and behold there are these big stickers on it saying Caution HUMAN EYES Extremely Fragile. I didn't have to deliver them to the hospital though, I was told they went down by bus at night if you can believe that. The container I picked up was empty and was just being returned.

 

Hauled to a paper mill in TN where u pull your truck and trailer on a ramp and they pick the whole thing up and dumps into a pit. you operate the controls for the dump.
