Uncut oxycontin? Is this a street drug style of pharmaceutical distribution?
My local CVS gets the pure stuff and "cuts" it to street level grade???
Any story that includes "Lead and followed by black SUVs" is highly suspect.

I hauled 52' of solid gold once fit perfectly in my 53' van. I had overweight flags and was escorted by 50 government agents in the front and followed by 50 fbi agents. Was not allowed to stop for any readon. Nj to cali no HOS for me. When i needed coffee a helicopter would fly in front of me and id just put my arm out the window with my mug and it was filled. 3,000 miles and all i got was a high five and a thanks
opium eater and Pmracing Thank this. -
I have no personal experience but I would think hauling a 53' trailer filled with cartons of cigarettes would be a high value load.

You mean there were no black helicopters!! Come on can somebody put black helicopters in that story. Followed by the scale master wanting to open up the trailer. Man oh man what's a trucker story without a black helicopter!!

You want to talk about some high value stuff it would be those guys hauling King Tut artifacts or those guys hauling priceless paintings from auction houses to museums.

They haul "specialized nuclear material" and a lot of people fear them. Of course it's for good reason if you get stupid and try to breach their operation. They have never been attacked and few accidents with the worse being a rollover in a bad storm. No one on the highway has any authority over them but they will stop at scales so no attention is seen their way. I used to load unload these guys and one driver told us they had a problem with a state trooper once and they just picked up their phone and the state trooper went away. That's way before any cell phones were out there.
If I was young I go for it. You know once you get in working for the government is pretty solid. If you want the challenge check out their web site that I have listed here.
When searching the site I listed you may have to go to the "Office of Secure Transportation" to find job description.Last edited: Jul 5, 2013

Lunchables don't count as a high value load?
What about MnM Candy?
