    Hey you guys,give the kid a break lol!

    How about lumber, building materials, steel, machinery, and almost anything else you can think of.
    What's the weirdest load you've ever hauled on a flat?

    Basically, if you can buy it, it was shipped on a truck. Maybe in pieces, but it came on a truck.
